In an effort to prevent another Volkswagen-like tailpipe emissions scandal, the European Union has announced that it will take legal action against member governments that have failed to police vehicle emissions testing. One core problem is that national regulators who inspect domestically made cars sometimes certify cars that do not meet standards. Another is that only the producing country can issue a recall, even though the vehicles can be sold throughout the EU. The EU hopes to reduce such incidents of “cheating.” The proposed rules, which would change vehicle licensing and testing, have already received approval from the European Parliament’s International Market Committee, although backlash is expected from individual member states.
