The book analyses the US EPA-VW 14.7-billion-dollar settlement of 2016, one of the largest civil settlements in the history of environmental law. As it shows, the Dieselgate affair has raised a host of issues concerning corporate and social responsibility, tort liability, environmental liability, contractual defective products, warranty, and false environmental claims in a range of jurisdictions. Issues like repurchasing or retrofitting cars from consumers and making direct payments to consumers through car buy-backs and compensation are analysed. Further, the book relates how Dieselgate has also contributed to the discussion about the introduction of more effective collective measures of redress for consumers, such as class actions, in Germany, France, Italy and the UK. The book subsequently reviews the criminal offences Volkswagen is currently confronted with in Germany, France and Italy, i.e. fraud and manipulation of capital markets (by belatedly providing shareholders with essential information relevant for the share value), and, potentially, environmental crimes. It demonstrates how Dieselgate has sparked new debates in Germany, Italy, France and the UK about the need to introduce enterprise liability for organised crimes, lack of compliance and control structures, and intentional violations of the law. Lastly, the book discusses how EU law has sought to respond to Dieselgate and thus investigates the controversial EU Regulation No. 2016/646 introducing a "temporary conformity factor" of 2.1 (equivalent to a 110% increase on the current limit) to be applied for NOx in the new RDE testing cycle, and the works of the EU committee of inquiry into Emissions Measurements in the Automotive Sector (EMIS). 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aLaw?Europe 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aInternational environmental law 606 $aInternational law 606 $aTrade 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aEuropean Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20000 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 606 $aInternational Environmental Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aLaw?Europe. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aInternational environmental law. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aTrade. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aEuropean Law. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 615 24$aInternational Environmental Law. 615 24$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 676 $a340.9 676 $a340.2 702 $aFrigessi di Rattalma$b Marco$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163005503321 996 $aThe Dieselgate$92088748 997 $aUNINA
