This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

ETSC: Mutual recognition deal ...

TOTAL EU FAIL THIS WILL KILL

“Allowing American vehicles onto the EU market under ‘mutual recognition’ of standards betrays Europe’s safety leadership, it will cost lives.
European narrow roads and gigantic, under-regulated U.S. pick-up trucks and SUVs –

Mass and energy are different forms of the same thing

Massive us vehicles will annihilate
lighter normal size cars which are most driven in EU,

Surprise
Not what the rich and Politicians drive.
