Hmmm. No - that would be the manufacturers and importers.
For example
NCAP - European safety testing similar to US standards.
Smart Car - If you can get a Smart Car in the US with its highly suspect front end handling, I see no reason why the Toyota Aygo (for example) can't be sold there.
It (the Aygo) has the lightest 1.0 and most powerful 1.0 engine in the world, apparently. And Citroen sell a Diesel one.
