Article Starts: According to deputy Environment Minister Jochen Flasbarth, the German government will make things clearer for town mayors and councils as far as establishing a ban for older diesels. He also said that Chancellor Angela Merkel's government will enact the ordinance later this year and this will remove any legal uncertainty that so far has caused authorities of heavily polluted cities to hesitate to ban older diesels.
Flasbarth went on to specify the nitrogen oxide limits established by the European Union are “regularly breached” on German roads. This move will give towns and cities in Germany the legal tools to implement bans on diesel vehicles that do not meet Euro 6 regulations which refer to a NOx emission limit of 80 milligrams per kilometer.
