The government is to allocate €22.1 million to a second round of the so-called car-scrapping bonus, due to be launched on Monday, April 6.This involves state support for people who scrap an old car and replace it with a new one.However, the rules for the second round are different from the first. The state will contribute €1,000 if the seller [of the new car] provides €1,000. In the first round, which took lasted from March 9 and March 25, the basic contribution from the state was €1,000, but if car dealers contributed another €500, the state subsidy was increased to €1,500. The maximum value of a new car for which the measure applies will remain at €25,000.The second round of the car-scrapping bonus will be the last one.As many as 672 cars were scrapped in the first round in the period immediately after the budget allocation had been used up. The 2,400 applicants who took their cars to scrapyards or took them home but were put on a waiting list on Wednesday or Thursday will also come under the provisions for the first round.
