Speaking after a meeting with the representatives of the Association of Hungarian Farmers in Targu Mures, the minister said he is considering increasing to three starting next year the maximum allowed number of vouchers a participant in the clunkers program for tractors may use, just as in the case of the car scrappage program.

Participants might also be allowed to sell the voucher received for scrapping a tractor.

This year’s edition of the clunkers program for tractors started on September 12 and will cease at the end of November to be resumed on January 15, said Borbely.

The value of a voucher is 17,000 lei (about EUR3,950).
