German Environmental Aid rejects considerations for allocation of annual car subsidies
- coal subsidies in the 21st century will not be paid to the automotive industry
- DUH-national manager proposes instead "revenue-neutral bonus-malus System ", which promotes the purchase of more efficient cars and gas guzzlers punished
- similar incentive system is already working in France
The German Environmental Aid Association (DUH) has reflections in the grand coalition, the expected depression in auto sales after the expiry of the scrapping with another subsidy program for German automakers sharply rejected.
"We are experiencing a kind of revival of Goethe's sorcerer's apprentice: the spirits that I called, I will now not go," DUH-national manager Jürgen Resch said discussions should be that increased massively because of the impending termination of scrapping the tax subsidies for employee car , in particular to boost sales of luxury cars produced in Germany.
Because after the end of the five-billion program threatens an even deeper slump in sales, companies like BMW and Daimler now demanded new tax billions to continue to sell cars that contradict "diametrically the environmental and economic future demands and lose in the market. " The federal government must take care that "do not develop the billions in subsidies for the automobile industry to the coal subsidies in the 21st century," said Resch.
Each grant of climate killers and suburban tanks, which would still be offered new models extend only to misery the so-called premium German manufacturer. As with the coal industry will again nursed an industry whose main characteristic is the unwillingness to recognize the signs of the times.
state intervention are useful if they lead the automotive industry to "continue to build cars that the world in times of climate change and resource scarcity needs." Only then did the German automotive industry in the face of massive global overcapacity in car production in the long term survival. Resch rejected both an extension of the scrapping, as well as BMW, Daimler and the Baden-Württemberg Minister President Günther Oettinger (CDU) brings into the discussion Increase in tax subsidies for employee car of company employees. Instead, the proposed
DUH managing a "revenue-neutral bonus-malus delivery system" to be the most efficient car technology independently funded at up to 2,000 € in exchange for gas-guzzlers and charged with fines of up to 5,000 €. Resch recalled that a similarly constructed model of assistance already exists in France, where I led to significant ecological control effects.
