The Romanian Government assigned an additional 195 million lei (EUR1=RON4.0821) for the 2010 clunkers program, to issue 50,000 new vouchers used to scrap old cars, Prime Minister Emil Boc said Wednesday.

Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc said Tuesday evening the Government will allot starting next week between 40,000 and 50,000 new vouchers for the 2010 clunkers program, as vouchers originally assigned for this year's program have been exhausted in less than one month.

Only little over 7,000 cars out of 20,000 available within the first stage of Romania’s car park renewal program were sold by the end of April, according to a statistic released Wednesday by the Ministry of Environment.
