Well the new government decided to stop the car renewal subsidy, unlike most other EU counties the PASOK party stated "it offered no real benefit to the environment". More concerning is that those people who ordered a new car (provided this was before 2nd November), will also now suffer as I understand it they will not get the total subsidy that was previously given.
Now if it is no real benefit to the environment to have smaller, cleaner engined cars why has the government retained the tiered road tax system ? For those not yet familiar the new taxes for 2010 I include them below:-
