Preliminary stage to the C02 budget - EU receives mileage and consumption data from motorists

https://norberthaering.de/macht-kontrolle/jahresfahrleistung/

Translation (deepl):

6. 02. 2023 | Austria's government takes another major step toward monitoring and registering citizens' mobility behavior. Annual mileage and fuel consumption are recorded and reported. If individual CO2 allocations were to be introduced for all Austrians, this would have been an important preliminary step. The background to this is an EU regulation.

As reported by the Austrian automobile club ÖAMTC, the "Pickerl" or "§57a-Gutachten", i.e. what is called "Tüv-Bericht" in Germany, has had a QR code since February 2. With the help of this QR code, an electronic version of the appraisal can be retrieved from the central database.

A particularly important innovation will be introduced from May 20, 2023. Then, in the course of the annual §57a appraisal of the vehicle, a recording of the mileage and consumption data of vehicles with first registration from January 1, 2021, must be made.

The data, including the vehicle identification number, will be sent to a central database at the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology in Vienna. From there, they are forwarded to the European Environment Agency. The ÖAMTC is critical of the data being passed on together with the vehicle identification number.

The stated aim is to determine how far the consumption values established during type approval are exceeded in practice.

The background to this is an EU regulation from 2019, which stipulates that a standardized measuring device called an "on-board fuel consumption meter" must be installed in all vehicles registered from 2020 onwards and that this data is to be transmitted to the EU Commission via a route that was left open at the time.

With an annual report, the Commission then wants to indicate the actual mileage consumption of the various vehicle types in order to arrive at honest consumption figures. At the time, T-Online wrote its usual loyalist reassuringly about the criticism of the plan:

"A personalized CO2 tax, for example, would be conceivable, according to a report in Spiegel Online. Those who consume a lot would then also have to pay a lot. At present, however, there is no reason for this assumption. That's because the data is to be anonymized."

Once again, this shows what such promises of anonymization are worth. Now the data, together with the vehicle identification numbers, will be transmitted to Brussels and stored in the national database.

If you'll pardon the expression, you'd have to have a credulity bordering on the incompetent to find it plausible to install a device in hundreds of millions of cars and monitor the driving behavior of all drivers just to determine realistic consumption values. All the EU Commission had to do was ask Stiftung Warentest how such a thing is done, and then issue a few more rules against manipulation.

It seems much more plausible to me to see this measure as another of the many steps already taken in the direction of total surveillance, a social credit system and CO2 budgets for citizens.

In contrast to a solution via the price of gasoline, CO2 budgets allow much more precise and arbitrary control of individual behavior, and they presuppose total surveillance, which seems to be wanted for other reasons. If citizens have a CO2 budget, for example, systemically relevant occupational groups such as government politicians, broadcasting executives, and top managers can be allowed to drive more and use more gas while denying it to others, even if they would pay for it.

German Health Minister Lauterbach does not deny that Covid-style climate lockdowns could be coming.

Lauterbach dementiert nicht, dass es Hitze-Lockdowns nach Corona-Vorbild geben könnte – Geld und mehr

norberthaering.de

Ever since Karl Lauterbach spoke of a state of emergency, of a "catastrophe in the healthcare system" and a possible overload of the healthcare system in a press conference announcing his heat action plan, warnings of new lockdowns have been circulating. Correctiv's always impeccably government-loyal "fact checkers" have tried to get a denial from the Ministry of Health, but to no avail. When asked by the Ministry of Health "whether it would be conceivable that public life would have to be curtailed as drastically as during the Corona pandemic due to heat waves," the response was that they did not want to prejudge discussions with "all relevant actors"
