<p>[quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]The second the EPA got their Consent Decree signed by the OTR engine makers they lost their ablity to appeal in the court system. [/quote]</p> <p>They might have lost their appeals but they didn't loose their right to appeal:<br /><a href="https://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/b1ab9f485b098972852562e7004dc686/3136b530b2b455d385256c2f0056e066?OpenDocument">https://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/b1ab9f485b098972852562e7004dc686/3136b530b2b455d385256c2f0056e066?OpenDocument</a></p> <p>Here Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel appealed and lost.</p> <p>If you have a Consent Decree and allow exemptions for one manfacturer the remaining manufacturers can have commercial disadvantage.</p> <p>EPA allowed Navistar to further sell non-compliant engines paying non-conformance penalties. Other engine/truck manufacturers challenged the EPA ruling in court and won.</p> <p>So I see nothing wrong with EPA enforcing contracts. But perhaps I'm naive in my German law understanding.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
