Van’s articles presented expert rebuttal to the government’s policy of applying Euro II emission standards on all new vehicles.
According to his articles, at the time other nations had already applied Euro IV and V emission standards.
As such, the articles said applying the lower emission standards meant the country accepted an atmosphere dirtier than other countries in the region.
