 abstract={The Dieselgate emission scandal has laid bare all deficiencies of the type approval system present in the European Union. Aside from inaccurate testing and manufacturer fraud, the problem lay in the type approval procedures, which were opaque and provided plenty of opportunity for excessive leniency for manufacturers. The new Type Approval Framework Regulation seeks to address these issues with Commission supervision, adding market supervision, giving type approval authorities more competences and co-ordination. The area especially expanded upon, and previously all but ignored, has been the checks of actual vehicles whose model had already been homologated, to verify whether the real cars introduced to the market actually conform to the type approval regulations. The author argues that deciding not to create a European Union agency for vehicle type approval would have been a superior choice to attempting to coordinate and supervise so many national authorities, and far more effective at achieving the uniform application of the TAFR. For this reason, despite addressing all major faults of the current regulation, it may be seen as a missed opportunity.},
