The European Union passes another directive. Motorists from the old continent will have to run to the workshop: under penalty of a very high fine.
Important news arriving for all motorists in the European Union. Indeed, Brussels has launched aimportant directive which will force vehicle owners to upgrade their cars. But naturally discontent is already growing in many quarters due to the costs that could, as often happens, end up being too heavy for ordinary citizens.
The initiative of the European Union stems from a commendable intention and a factual necessity. Modern cars are increasingly subject, due to on-board computers and ever more prevailing technology, to malware attacks which can, in the most serious cases, compromise the functioning of the car itself. This is why from Brussels they decided that all cars must compulsorily be equipped with anti-virus solutions.
Translated into practical words: you will have to update the software on board relatively more recent cars. The problem is that existing systems will often need to be heavily upgraded, if not changed, and this will inevitably lead to financial outlays by automakers which could then feed back into the prices of new cars to consumers. On the other hand, the European Union has already made it known that no derogations or modifications will be granted.
Not only on-board computers: guidelines also for petrol and diesel costs
A second directive issued speaks instead of fuel prices. The European Union has in fact decided to prohibit fuel suppliers from passing on more than half of the final costs of the product to consumers. This is to mitigate the concern of a rise in prices due in turn to the rise in the prices of CO2 allowances. In other words, producers buy shares in environmental projects, all to counteract the polluting effect of fuel production.

The problem is that with regard to these quotas there is a great deal of demand from producers and few quotas from environmental projects. This has led the market for CO2 quotas to skyrocket, which is why many are worried that, with higher production costs, the final piece will be passed on to consumers, with obvious bad feelings from motorists. According to a projection by the International Energy Agency, a record price of €200 per ton of CO2 could be reached which, if this increase is applied to retail prices, would mean almost €2.30 per liter for petrol and almost €2.20 per liter for diesel.
