      I've been following this "mutual safety standards recognition" stuff out of the US/EU talks. This could be really, really bad.

      It would mean that US vehicles, like those giant dangerous SUVs and pickup trucks, could be freely imported into the EU in volume without having to pass EU vehicle safety standards (like pedestrian safety).

      I haven't seen any organised resistance to this. Does anybody know any other organisations that are fighting this?

        It's bad enough that small volumes of these stupid pickup trucks have been (illegally) imported into the EU under the IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) lately. The mutual safety standards recognition would totally open the floodgates.

        Just a reminder that this is the most popular-selling car in Europe next to the most popular-selling car in the US.

        We don't want these dangerous trucks in EU cities.
