Ban in Stuttgart for fraudulent Diesel-Cars / Legal Situation

"In order to protect human health and the environment, the Council of the European Union drew up a directive with air quality standards in April 1999. With the Ordinance on Air Quality Standards and Emission Ceilings (39. BImSchV), the Federal Government transposed this EU directive into national legislation. The directive establishes limit values for pollutant concentration in order to maintain the air quality.
Accordingly, the limit value for particulate matter was set at 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air, which may be exceeded on a maximum of 35 days a year. The average annual value for nitrogen dioxide was set at 40µg/m3. The EU directive obliges cities and municipalities to draw up action plans for air pollution control. These plans have formed the basis for the implementation of 44 low-emission zones with limited access for vehicles with high emissions so far."

Diesel-Fahrverbote in Stuttgart ab 2018: Deutsche Umwelthilfe begrüßt Zustimmung des Landes Baden-Württemberg zur Sprungrevision

"Jürgen Resch, Bundesgeschäftsführer der DUH kommentiert das Ergebnis: „So sehr wir für die vom Dieselabgasgift Stickstoffdioxid geschädigten Stuttgarter Bürger auf ein Anerkenntnis des Urteils und damit Diesel-Fahrverbote ab dem 1.1.2018 gehofft haben, können wir auch mit der Zustimmung der Landesregierung zur Sprungrevision leben. Es kann aber nicht sein, dass den von Dieselabgasgiften betroffenen zehntausenden Menschen im Stuttgarter Kessel ein weiterer giftiger Diesel-Winter zugemutet wird. Wir fordern Ministerpräsident Winfried Kretschmann und Oberbürgermeister Fritz Kuhn gleichzeitig dazu auf, als Ausgleich für den Verzicht auf die Anerkenntnis des Urteils bereits zu Beginn des Winterhalbjahres mit Sofortmaßnahmen die NO2-Belastung zu reduzieren. Dazu gehört neben einer Adhoc-Nachrüstung aller ÖPNV-Busse und Landes-/Kommunalfahrzeuge auf Euro 6 ein Einfahrtverbot für alle Diesel mit temperaturge­steuerter Abschaltung der ordnungsgemäßen Abgasreinigung bei unter + 10 Grad Celsius."https://www.right-to-clean-air.eu/presse/pressemitteilungen/details/diesel-fahrverbote-in-stuttgart-ab-2018-deutsche-umwelthilfe-begruesst-zustimmung-des-landes-baden-wue/

Chai Jing's review: Under the Dome – Investigating China’s Haze

New Markets for Diesel Fuel and Direct-Injection-Motors? Seriously?

USA / CHINA

"Bosch overview of global diesel markets;
optimistic about US, China"

"7 August 2013: (...) Bosch, a leading supplier of technology for diesel engines, recently provided an overview of trends it sees in the diesel engine marketplace globally. In addition to the ongoing strength in the European market and India (the second-largest diesel market after Europe, Bosch sees potential strength in North America and China."

United States: Diesel boom on the horizon
http://www.bosch-presse.de/presseforum/details.htm?locale=en&txtID=6355

Bosch wants to introduce their Diesel engines to China and the US. There are clear indications that this will exacerbate the problems with ultrafine carcinogenic Particles. Policy-wise it might be time to focus on toxicity of emissions."

Will anybody dare to hold Bosch accountable?
If you call a hazardous technology that is known to cause massive health problems around the world the "Best Available Technology" then suddenly everybody will just go along with that?

from the news-section of:

http://www.agluftverschmutzung.org/

Are the people from the EPA aware of what a Diesel Boom in the US would mean?
http://www.epa.gov/cleandiesel/ncdc-cmt.htm#whereyoulive
Are they aware that "Clean Diesel" to date is in fact a fraudulent claim?

Addendum: Is the climate change debate which is focusing solely on CO2 emissions (instead of NO2, Black Carbon, toxic ultrafine particles etc.) actually just a marketing-tool to introduce new Diesel Cars all over the US as it also was the case in Europe 10 years ago? If that is the case, and regarding the automotive industries goal to introduce over 40 new diesel cars on the US-market till end of the year, it is no surprise that even Greg Page from Cargill is buzzing about new CO2 regulations. As we know from the european Diesel-Desaster, focusing solely on CO2 emissions by introducing widespread use of Diesel-Cars has not helped the climate and the environment in any way.
