On the back of the recent revelations that Volkswagen gamed US emission tests and installed so-called defeat devices in millions of cars globally, Members of the European Parliament have voted in favour of a raft of measures that would better protect consumers from misleading performance claims of car makers.

European consumers should see their personal data better protected when dealing with US companies following a landmark judgement of the EU’s highest court today. The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) wholeheartedly embraces this ruling.
