Abstract

The global issues related to greenhouse emissions put pressure on decision-makers to include the environment in their priorities. Decision-makers around the world seek to assess their nation’s ecological footprint and discover methods to improve it. Governments must find ways to achieve the national targets and improve environment quality. It is widely known that one of the major polluting sources today is the urban agglomeration of tvehicles. This is the main reason for European policies regarding the renewal of a national automotive fleet and taxation per emissions volume.Our study assesses whether there is any significant correlation between the Junk programme’s direct effects (volume of scrapping) and the measure of national vehicles fleet renewal, and if so we wish to deploy a general model describing the correlation. If the evaluation results show no significant correlation we may assume there are public policy flaws to be investigated in future research. Also we bear in mind the indirect but affirmed target: environmental health improvement – the reduction of greenhouse emissions. Given the fact there are only a few studies regarding the Romanian case, the research may constitute a basis for future developments.
