Could not get compensation
Tom decided to trade in his old polluting car for two scooters, which would be reimbursed by the state’s Climate Change Program.
“I was interested in the campaign because everything is done for environmental purposes, to protect nature. Also, this is worth it, because an old car does not sell for a high price.
“Scrap” (car scrap – Delphi) knows who the State compensates. They don’t pay much for cars. In my case, I did not receive anything but a certificate (End of Life Vehicle Destruction Certificate – Delphi). If he had scrapped the car, he would have received at least 150 euros, if he had sold it in parts, maybe 300 euros.
Because the “Scots” use this tool, they know they will get around a thousand, they don’t give money, but they offer a certificate. With this certificate, you travel to “Regitra”, where specialists register it, deregister the car itself, then you can receive compensation for the scooters, “says Tomas.
A man who opened the website of the Environmental Project Management Agency (APVA) last Monday noted that there were 0.34 million left for this measure. Eur, so he called the agency’s consultant to find out if it was too late to request compensation.

However, the interlocutor decided to hurry and had the documents available after a few days. It was said that he received a certificate last Monday, but Regitra was no longer working.
“On Tuesday, the Regitra system broke down, so the specialists could not cancel the registration of the car. We bought scooters and the next day we registered a certificate with the Regitra and deregistered the car. However, when we opened the website from APTA on Wednesday, we saw that the funds were no longer available, ”he says.
“It is good that people are actively interested in this measure, but perhaps 300 thousand. Eur will have to be set aside and announced the date, say, until September 14. that has already managed to buy the instrument to claim compensation. is that I myself spent 800 euros, the scooter shop did not accept it again and I gave the car for nothing“Tom says.”
An additional 3 million euros are being considered. EUR

“Hundreds of applicants have applied in recent days, with a maximum compensation of € 1,000. We received more than 300 applications. The number of applications exceeded all expectations. With such a boom in applications, it is difficult to predict the exact dates when the call will end, ”he comments on Tom’s case.
