Diesel driving ban case already a āslap in governmentās faceā - VCD
While it is unfortunate that Germanyās Federal Administrative Court has postponed a ruling on diesel driving bans aimed at cutting air pollution in cities, the court case has already been a āslap in the governmentās face,ā according to German transport and environmental association Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD), which promotes sustainable mobility. āIt is remarkable that all participants in the hearing sharply criticised the federal government for its inaction regarding clean air," the club said in a statement. There was broad agreement in the courtroom that federal regulation such as a 'blue badge' to identify clean cars could have created a clear regulatory framework years ago, according to the VCD.
