The deadline, set by the government for the import of vehicles, meeting the oldest ecological standard Euro 1, expired on August 5. The government initially planned to impose a ban on the import of Euro 1 and Euro 2 vehicles in March, but after a strong reaction from the society, it extended the Euro 1 deadline by six months. The deadline for the Euro 2 vehicles was pushed by six years. The delay caused a significant rise in used car imports, which doubled on the year to 31,000 in the first seven months of the year. The number of imported new cars stood at 4,500. |
