On behalf of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton wrote a reply to Transport Minister Volker Wissing on Friday in response to his letter on the impending decommissioning of diesel cars (as we reported). The letter is available to Table.Briefings. Breton explains that Wissing’s formulation that Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel vehicles would have to comply with the emission standards not only in the laboratory but in „every driving situation,“ is „misleading.“ „The Commission has no intention of making retroactive changes, imposing additional administrative burdens or requirements on car manufacturers, or taking or promoting measures that will in any way disadvantage citizens who have bought cars in good faith,“ the letter states.
