I never researched why but I always found it interesting how much stricter chemical laws in the EU were compared to the US and then in the inverse how the US really clamped down on diesel compared to the EU where it was much more popular and in many ways less strict.

But what was lax was the control, and what was ridiculous the consequences (or lack of such, at least short term) when wide spread manipulation was found. By over protecting certain companies some countries like especially Germany have maneuvered themself in quite a bad situation both image wise and economical wise. And it's not just cars in some other areas similar ill fated decisions are done too, where overprotecting certain companies impeded innovation and made that companies less able to compete on a global marked.
