The criticism is heard including from the environmental profile Anders Wijkman, chairman of the Environmental Advisory Council. Now KU notified Moreover, both Annie Lööf and the then Minister for Infrastructure Catharina Elmsäter-Sword (M) for not having acted when the warning about the suspected discharge cheating reached the Industry Ministry.
Registration is from Eva-Lena Jansson, a Social Democratic member of parliament earlier sat in the Committee.
– If you do not even care about acting is remarkable.
the warning letter from the EU , former industry commissioner Antonio Tajani directed straight to Annie Lööf. The letter was written after he had, among other encounter with a provider who blew the whistle on cheating with the software to get through the EU’s emission tests. The letter emphasizes Tajani to the Member States responsible for vehicle manufacturers to comply with EU rules and he urges the Swedish government to take action against “products counterfeited or tampered with.”
– I ask the Constitutional Committee to review both ministers’ actions for to see if any action was taken. The Commissioner also ask in your letter about the feedback that does not seem to have been abandoned, says Eva-Lena Jansson, who studied the letter.
Why are you reporting even Catharina Elmsäter-Sword?
– It registered as received the letter seems to have gone to the transport unit of the Ministry of Industry which is Catharina Elmsäter-Svärds area, she says and continues:
– It is important to see who has done what and if has fulfilled its duty of information to Parliament.
Eva-Lena Jansson says that ministers may have failed in its duty to inform the Parliament on the decision-making that takes place in the EU
– You have written directly to Minister that there is an opportunity for the automotive industry to manipulate and falsify products. It can pose serious environmental risks and the Commissioner asks for action. It should parliament be informed.
Eva-Lena Jansson believes that emissions are important from an environmental and climate point of view.
– We in Parliament decides how markets should be checked and how it affects the vehicle fleet. If Parliament is not informed, we risk making decisions without all the information on the table.
Eva-Lena Jansson believes that many questions remain about how the issue was handled in the Industry Ministry.
– I saw that Lööf had commented that the letter was general and that she knew nothing about Volkswagen. But it’s not Volkswagen letter is about. The Commissioner urges the Government to have the resources to track products that may have been tampered with.
Annie Lööf declined first to comment, then sent a short written response, and allowed themselves only then interviewed. Annie Lööf then transferred the responsibility back to the EU to move forward with legislation on market surveillance. Annie Lööf also referred to the issue was within Catharina Elmsäter-Swords area, which Elmsäter-Sword subsequently denied.
– Annie Lööf was still the Chief Executive Director of Catharina Elmsäter-Sword. So after receiving this letter, she should have been assured that the matter had been handled, says Eva-Lena Jansson.
