Dieselgate Reloaded - Part 1

Episode notes
In this episode of Europe Talks Back, Gail Rego takes us inside the investigation by Stefano Valentino published by the pan-European online media, Voxeurop, on how the European car industry has lobbied EU institutions to weaken Euro Seven, the next European Emission Standard.
Cars, trucks, and buses carry people and the commodities we consume every day are at the centre of the EU strategy to shift towards a net-zero society, as the effects of climate change and health-related concerns regarding pollution become more prominent. Over the years, the EU has adopted progressively more stringent regulations on car emissions, but establishing this new standard is proving to be more difficult than in the past.
“If there is no Euro Seven with stringent rules they will keep polluting the air that citizens breathe.” - Stefano Valentino
