The end of the five years of the tax benefits of diesel, carbon tax strengthened and vow to european standards are more stringent: a parliamentary mission was created in the wake of the case of Volkswagen recommends an environmental pact between the State and the sector automobile French. The report of this mission of information is published more than one year after the beginning of the scandal to the motor-fixing that has shaken the German manufacturer but also highlighted significant exceedances of emission standards to european vehicles of other manufacturers in real conditions of use.
“the duty of national representation is to shoot until the end the lessons of the +dieselgate+, and first that of the failure of the regulator, in its mission to protect public health and the supervision of standards of pollution”, writes the mission in this text is extremely detailed, released on Wednesday, and more than 500 pages. Fruit of dozens of interviews, visits and interviews, this work which the rapporteur is the former Ecology minister and current member of the deux-Sèvres Delphine Batho, set out 120 proposals with as credo the concept “organise a final break with the car pollutes and is harmful”.
The report insists on the need to obtain a “complete redesign of the european regulatory framework, with the development of a standard Euro7 includes all the parameters of pollution” and the establishment of “controls drastic” and random, to ensure that this standard is respected to the letter. This work is also meant to “prohibit expressly the techniques of+ optimization+ of protocols for approval (…) by establishing a formal list and complete the practices prohibited”. The devices “invalidation” of control systems in the name of protection of the motors, which are at the heart of the issue of the exceedances of standards, should also be “strictly” prohibited. But the text also takes note of the time industrial and stresses that it is necessary to fix the pollution norms, five years in advance, and set “a target for further progress,” at a horizon of ten years.
If its principles were eventually enshrined in the law, this report could deal a severe blow to diesel in new car sales in France: he wishes, in the name of “technological neutrality and tax,” a progressive abolition of all tax benefits to diesel in five years, including for company vehicles”. He wants to go further than the government’s objectives of strengthening the taxation between petrol and diesel that are included in the draft finance bill 2017 recently presented, but without the “engrave in stone” a convergence term.
