 SCRAP SUBSIDY: Social Democrat leader Bohuslav Sobotka said
there was no urgent need to launch the "cash-for-clunkers"
scheme in the Czech Republic if the market continues to develop
as so far. The Social Democrats were the strongest supporters of
the scheme and their votes enabled its passage in the lower
house of the Parliament.
