The piece only mentions the EU proposals being looked at (as with all EU proposals) once.

Germany has had its Type Approval rules for ages and they have been pushing them in Brussels for a while. For a few reasons, I doubt we'll all be looking for OE tyres etc at MOT time.

As for the story. It's just rabble rousing propaganda, from a predicable source. (mountain/molehill)
Scary headline though...
