Romania’s 2011 Clunkers Program To Be Similar To That In ‘10 – Environment Minister

Borbely said Romania has over 200,000 cars older than ten years that should be scrapped, adding the ministry decided the 2011 edition of the clunkers program will be similar to that in 2010, as the results registered last year were good.

The minister highlighted that the car park renewal program cannot start unless the Environment Fund’s budget is adopted. He said he hopes the Fund’s budget and guide will be published in the Official Journal by the end of next week.

According to data released by the ministry, 63,000 new cars have been bought through the clunkers program last year.
