The other day the German auto group Volkswagen admitted that around the world 11 million automobiles were equipped with the software to falsify the results of the harmful emission tests. The test pass is a necessity in USA.
On Tuesday, the company reported that $7,3 billion had been allocated from its budget to replace software and cover other related costs.

After Volkswagen admitted to the falsification, on Tuesday, the Minister of Finance of France Michel Sapin appealed to conduct the investigation against automotive emissions all over Europe.

On Monday, the Volkswagen stock declined by 20%.
