The plan 2000E, a comparison of subsidies in Spain and the economic crisis Europe has pointed out its effects in Spain and throughout Europe. The automobile sector has been no exception. Car sales have fallen dramatically from 2008 until today. Many factories of vehicles have had to lay off employees, cutting shifts or employ other measures to deal with the crisis. From the same sector has called on the Government to take measures to alleviate this situation. Here in Spain the first attempt has been the Plan VIVE, that I sold out its early 2009 budget. Now with the Plan 2000E is boosting sales of new cars and second hand.
The buyer of a car can now count on a discount of at least 1,500 euros, the Government provides 1,000 euros 500 euros and vehicle manufacturers. In some autonomous communities aid can increase up to 2,000 euros.And in Navarra, Valencia and Galicia there are self-funded plans that can complement with the Plan supports 2000e. Today there are 11 countries in Europe that have adopted measures to stimulate car sales: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Slovakia, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Polonia.Alemania is the country that provides greater support with 2,500 euros for buying a car in exchange for vehicle over nine years old. In the Netherlands there is a scale for years, starting with EUR 750 leaving a car with registration of 1989 or earlier to buy a new car, up to 1,750 euros by let diesel cars with registration from 1996 until 1999. The overall comparison with other countries in Europe is that Spain is at the height of the European average. At first the scene seemed a little confusing in Spain contributed subsidies from the Government, vehicle manufacturers and the autonomous communities.
In addition some communities took to adhere to the Plan 2000E. But today the Plan is accepted at virtually all Spain. The community of Madrid and La Rioja are the only ones who refuse the plan, while Murcia it has not decided yet. The 2000E Plan with the Plan VIVE difference is that it is not a measure of financing for the purchase of vehicles. The Plan 2000e is aid that is received directly when you buy a car. The financing of the purchase is now the same buyer’s responsibility. Although there are voices that are opposed to aid the fact is that already noted the measures in the sales. Brands of vehicles dealers have been eased with a rise in sales in the last two months. Spain car factories have seen a rise in demand from countries with aid plans. Aid will not be the ultimate solution but if you give a respite to the sector. Medium and long term will require a rethinking of the pace of growth, the escalation of oil and protection of the environment will make a necessary.
