Spain tells VW subsidiary SEAT to return subsidies given to produce clean efficient cars
– canadianbusiness.com
MADRID – The Spanish government will require the Volkswagen subsidiary SEAT to return subsidies it had received to produce “efficient vehicles,” a top minister said Saturday.
Jose Manuel Soria, the minister of industry, energy and tourism, said he expected SEAT to tell his ministry how many vehicles it had produced and sold containing software that cheats on diesel engine emissions tests. He did not give a figure for the amount of money he expected SEAT to return.
Soria said the Volkswagen Group has given its assurances that it would maintain its investments in Spain and that the emissions scandal would “not affect the activity or employment” there.
In a statement Saturday, SEAT said it was appointing Luca de Meo as its new CEO and that Volkswagen Group’s confidence was shown by its investment of 3.3 billion euros ($3.7 billion) for research-and-development facilities in Spain.
Volkswagen has admitted installing defeat devices on diesel engines that switch on pollution controls when the cars are being tested but turn them off when the cars are back on the road…

The Liberals show their work
– macleans.ca
ShutterstockNot counting explanatory notes, the Liberal party’s “fiscal plan and costing” includes 15 tables which are comprised of some 314 numbers, some of them big ($1.675 billion for public transit infrastructure), some of them small ($5 million to enhance the flexibility of the RRSP Home Buyer’s Plan). Generously, the Liberals have left you, the voter, a full three weeks to complete the actuarial analysis and comparison you’ve no doubt been waiting to complete since this campaign began so many days ago.
The Liberals presented this as a “credible plan” for “investment” and “real, immediate change.” If they are lucky, it will at least be “a document that does not include a glaring and consequential error of math.”
The platform costing is a requirement of the modern political campaign. The more detailed, the better. Though the more detailed, the more likely that one of the details will be challenged. In this regard, the patron saint of platform costing is poor Tim Hudak, the former leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives whose “one-million jobs plan” turned out to be something rather less after economists discovered “an inexcusable and elementary mistake in mathematics…
