Of lock towns throughout the city. Traffic wasnt as bad as i expected. A lot of people took head of the warnings to stay clear of the area. First lets get to the markets. Check out the futures this morning. Youll see big gain across the board. Right now it looks like the dow futures are up by 250 points. The s p futures up by 24 and the nasdaq up by 52 points. She said it would likely be appropriate to raise rates if near zero in her words sometime later this year. The understanding we had when she spoke last week after taking q and a and stuff it seemed like a very dovish excuse at that point. Markets have sold out since then but yesterday it sounded like it was full speed ahead and they would like to raise this year. We never know cause and effect because everybody has different opinions. It looked to us like they had big down days. That would have been a switch from the markets rallying every time we heard that would have been a switch. I can think of what youve been saying. But i h
European parliament in strasbourg, france. Thank you madam president , and commissioner. Today we are talking about a very sad story. Thatgislators, we thought over the years we had contributed in a practical emissions ofducing cars. We thought that we had reached important targets to ensure that european citizens would be able to live in a cleaner environment. Fact, we find ourselves confronted with a different situation. We guarantee clean air to breathe for our citizens. We are now certain that our legislative wishes were illusionary, we were not able to identify the fraud that had been carried out. So these organizations have been deliberately been exceeded by one of the largest carbon factories. Concerned just like my colleagues who will be speaking after me, and i turn to the European Commission asking whether there have been other particulates, co2, or is thisxide, or the only pollutant . Is it true that the emissions were 40 times greater than the limit allowed . We need to kno

What is io the position of the commission here and what does that commissioner think about being a authority which would be able to check what has been carried out today. Also thank the local authority who are not able to reach the ta air quality requirement. Y ow the European Commission has saie stickiave violated the provisions but now they knowng what is goi
Scrutinizing them. Already two years ago that testing must be improved and harmonized together with misleading information on fuel consumption and Environmental Performance which is very important. The issue has not yet been solved. So the European Commission and Member States must also investigate if the case concerns just one manufacturer or whether we might be facing a much broader problem. The decisions we like to talk about with standard but what are they worth . They can be Cost Effective and enforced and controlled, they are not worth very much. Thank you very much. Translator thank you. You have the floor. Translator madam president , ladies and gentlemen, the transport committee, too, is affected by this scandal because we know that without a change in mobility we will not be able to stop Climate Change. 24 , thats what transport accounts for and, in fact, if you look at road transport, its 72 . And thats bad enough. But since 1990 in industry weve seen a decrease of 2 . But i
