WASHINGTON, DC - Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) today welcomed the Federal District Court announcement concerning an agreement in principle between Volkswagen and U.S. authorities.
“Gaming the system and breaking the law cannot, and will not, be tolerated. Today’s announcement of an agreement in principle is welcome news for the hundreds of thousands of American consumers affected by Volkswagen’s actions," said Upton. “VW betrayed the trust of American drivers and the U.S. government, and today’s news is an important step. Of course the devil is in the details, and therefore it will be important to understand the details of this agreement once it is resolved."
