Commission: discussions to support measures for the European car
industry
17 February 2009
Upon invitation of the Commission experts from the Member
States and representatives of the automotive industry discussed
support measures for the car-sector.
As the situation of the European automobile industry is
severely hit by the financial crisis, many Member States have
introduced or plan to introduce scrapping schemes for vehicles.
However, such support measures need to be effective and coordinated
within the EU.
The Commission offers guidance and provides a platform for
the exchange of views on the advantages and challenges for the
scrapping schemes for cars. Moreover the Commission informed about
available support to sustain employment in the car industry and to
facilitate restructuring. More information on EU car policy:
