Europe knew, but only half. The Commission corrects the reports in The Financial Times that Brussels had warned two years ago the risk of manipulation of the emissions testing by automakers. The British newspaper had referred to r intake of 2013 the European Joint Research Centre showed that the problems posed by the defeat device, the device at the center Volkswagen scandal.
The Commission’s response came from a spokesman who has specified as the EU researchers measured only car emissions, not the engines which had not access, discovering gas in the laboratory other than those of road: a known fact that led the EU to introduce tests on road by 2016. The Commission then also r icordato it is for the states, not in Brussels, check indicted software such as Volkswagen.
As for the possible consequences for Italy’s Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan recording “the very hard blow to confidence, but a key ingredient of the most deficient in the crisis.” The holder of Via XX Settembre added then that impacts expected “I hope limited, because there could be a chain effect on the Italian industry. The problem is not only German, but European” and “if the trust is eroded, are risky investments. “
There is however still no certainty about the numbers of diesel ‘made-up’ of the Wolfsburg circulating in our country. According to Deputy Minister for Transport, Riccardo Nencini may be about one million. “A rough estimate indicates about one million vehicles involved. There are controls in place to check the damage even in Italy.”
The survey, according Nencini, “may close within a few months, by the end of the year and hope that Volkswagen resolve this situation quickly. I see that it is moving with great speed: he It changed the leaders in a few hours by the news of the scandal. ” “I add and I stress – continued Nencini – that was a year in chiaroscuro for Germany: in April, Deutsche Bank has agreed a penalty of two and a half billion euro for having rigged the Libor data. Now the Volkswagen case. I It reminded of a joke Pietro Nenni: ‘Beware there is always one more pure you purges’. “
