In October, the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control will send out reservation notices for successors. It is not yet clear how many people will still benefit from the 2500 euros.

Three weeks after the scrapping bonus for end-of-life vehicles has expired, the first successors come into play. The Federal Office for Economics and Export Control (Bafa) in Eschborn, which is responsible for the award, confirmed a report by the “Bild-Zeitung” on Wednesday, according to which the first followers will receive binding reservation notices in October. You get around 2500 euros if other applications are legally rejected or are not used by the car buyers. So far, there are said to be a few hundred cases of this type, which a Bafa spokesman did not want to confirm.

950,000 bonuses paid out

How many successors will still receive the bonus cannot be foreseen at the moment, said the spokesman. "Whether it is enough for everyone is open." On Wednesday just under 4,000 of the original 15,000 waiting places were still available. The office had amply measured the number of people waiting in order to be able to award canceled or unused premiums in full to substitutes.

So far, with 950,000 bonuses, almost half of the roughly 2 million applications have been paid out, said the spokesman for the authorities. A five-digit number of payouts is added daily. A total of 5 billion euros were available for subsidies from the economic stimulus package. After making a reservation, applicants have nine months to submit the necessary documents. According to Bafa, the last bonus will not be awarded until 2010. (dpa)
