The situation that has arisen with the TAKATA airbags is very difficult and people will suffer, but there is no other choice when it comes to the safety of citizens, said the Minister of Transport, Alexis Vafeadis.
Speaking to Trito, he stressed that responsibility, under the law and the European recall regulation, rests solely with the manufacturing companies, who can say with certainty whether there is a risk to a car.
What is important, emphasized the Minister of Transport, is informing citizens so that they know if their vehicle is subject to a recall and then the issue should be properly managed.
The transport minister rejected accusations from the Parliament that the executive power was absent from the effort to solve the problem.
It has also been recognized by the deputies, he added, how important the presence of the Road Transport Department and the Legal Service was for the preparation of the Law proposal.
