Shocked by the 'diesel-gate' revelations in the US, MEPs want to know how the Commission plans to handle the situation in Europe.

MEPs press Commission on VW scandal

This VW scandal is not just about money.

And cheating the standards brings  a massive and fundamental breach of trust.

What happened is completely unacceptable.

We expect a full investigation and full  accountability of those who are responsible.

We must start by establishing the facts.

You ask me how the Commission  will investigate any potential wrongdoing.

The Commission does not have the power  to carry out our own investigation

We rely on the authorities  of the Member States.

Let's not jeopardize  what we have built together so far.

we won't stop climate change.  But we must stop it,

so that our children and their children  have a chance of living on this planet.
