Yes they used the software and of course they cheated the customer at least in a moral way.

But are you sure that it is forbidden by law here in the EU? I heard some voices that the EU laws aren’t that clear. I am no lawyer, but someone told me that the laws can be interpreted in different ways.

Electronics of modern engines are controlled by so many different parameters. Someone told me that it is not explicitly forbidden that one of the parameters may not be “test” or “real world” (different in the US). So legally maybe there is no difference between “cold engine” and “warm engine”

Yes, it is forbidden, there is no doubt about it.

Why? Do you know how the law around this is formulated?

There are many unanswered questions and many of the articles have relied on information not taken directly from the EPA's letter of nonconformance to Volkswagen AG, as a consequence, I place less veracity on many of the articles.
