It is a bit of a shocker, and yet to be clearly laid out by the journalists.
Via Focus news magazine, I noted this morning that the EU crowd has spoken to a commission recommendation over nitrogen oxide (diesel particles).
As you know, if you follow German news, we've got a major mess with diesel car bans being discussed in major urbanized regions in Germany.....all leading back to a EU law which says that 40 micrograms is the MAX you can have in a city for clean air. Anything above that....brings on EU force and cities then work to ban vehicles (at least they talk about it).
Well....the commission is now suggesting the new limit value for nitrogen oxide in Germany be increased to 50 micrograms.
Does that decrease the diesel car ban chatter going on? No one says much right now. My guess is that it might continue to be a ban on category 4 type diesel cars (those near 15 or more years old). The newer category five type diesel cars? They might be skip through the mess.
So all this hype over the ban, and frustration by the diesel car owners? Over? That's the curious thing. Maybe the EU idiots realized that a huge bit of anger was coming at the point of the EU election in May, and they could resolve this by just adding 10 more micrograms to the rule.
