Motor industry gives thumbs down to gov't programme for sector

The revised programme for the motor transport industry put forward by Leszek Miller's government was devised to improve sales of new cars, make the roads safer and to help combat the automotive grey economy. The drawback is that the proposed solutions appear too general and do not offer any concrete advice. After last year's devastating results, in which the motor industry only managed to sell 308,000 new cars, the sector was looking for help and inspiration, but it is not impressed with the government's proposals. "Crucial problems have not been dealt with accordingly. I am afraid that the issue concerning delivery vans, so important for the motor industry, has been marginalized," said Franciszek Gaik, the President of the Zasada group. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) A.C.
