Maker's Money Talks?

Carmaker's profits seem to be prioritised over the health of millions of Europeans (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/21/100m-highly-polluting-cars-could-appear-on-europes-roads-after-eu-move). Nitrogen oxides and particulates in car exhaust emissions cause much human disease as well as early deaths. The European Commission's (ECs) own experts were asked to devise new Euro 7 regulation, to further reduce vehicle pollution emissions. This regulation was due to come into force in 2025. The Auto Industry lobby didn't like the cost. They predictably initiated a campaign of dirty tricks, to resist Euro 7 in its inital form. The draft Euro 7 regulation now only proposes bringing diesel cars into line with those for petrol cars in existing Euro 6 law. Standards for petrol cars will be unchanged. The ECs disowning of its own experts, will put almost 100m highly polluting cars on to Europe's roads in the next decade. Money doesn't just talk, it screams its head off!
