To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 1 March 2016 to Question 27610, for what reasons the technical solution offered by VW was accepted in the EU but not in the US.

Manufacturers are required to comply with different technical standards between the EU market and the USA market.
