Story 2 - EURO 4 CHANGES CAR MARKET

STORY FOR COMPETITION - 'Young Journalist' 2016 ** CC on english is available. Translation on english: OFF 1: Import of passenger cars in Bosnia and Herzegovina with Euro 3 engines came to the end. Ecological Euro 4 standard in 2006 became the obligation for all producers who sell their vehicles on European soil. This standard in Bosnia and Herzegovina shall apply from 1 April this year and only for passenger cars. The permitted emissions of nitric oxide and hydrocarbons in relation to the Euro 3 standard with all engine is halved. Also, it is the case with petrol engine and their release of carbon monoxide, while the diesel engine also occurs in the release of soot particles. TO1: ALEKSANDAR BRKIĆ Car Service "Brkić" (“Euro 4 engines have electronic valves in the exhaust gases, which return exhaust gases to burn again. They have a newer generation of filters that reduce emissions and keep burning. Looking at this Euro 4 standards are set by the vehicle manufacturers. Now you already have and Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines.”) OFF 2: Although in theory the Euro 4 standard brings many advantages, it is still unknown who controls whether each imported car in practice meets the prescribed standards. TO2: ALEKSANDAR BRKIĆ Car Service "Brkić" (“It is better to drive technically correct Euro 2 that meets the Euro 2 standards, than Euro 4 in which were removed filters, valves software turned off, the car is techniaclly incorrect as it drives the majority of cars in Banja Luka.”) OFF 3: Old cars are the biggest problem on the roads of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and considering that the vehicles Euro 4 characteristics, since January 1, 2006 are registered in EU countries, drivers of passenger cars should not be affected by this decision. Although aware of the weak purchasing power of citizens, those who imported used cars support this decision. TO3: RADE KOVAČEVIĆ Sales manager Auto Salon "Braća Djukić" (“I think it's a very good decision taken by the competent authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, primarily for reasons of environmental protection. On the other hand began to worry about the security of citizens because in any case a newer vehicles contribute to a better security of all passengers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”) OFF 4: On average, each year in Bosnia and Herzegovina imported 70,000 cars. For commercial vehicles account for less than 10 percent, so it is not considered a priority and are therefore excluded from this decision. TO4: ZORAN ANDRIĆ Assistant Minister of Communications on the Transport of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“We took care of the vehicles that are used for economic activity, so it is still in force standard that still applies, and it will not be changed in the future, while the authorities do not agree.”) TO5: NATAŠA KOSTIĆ Assistant Minister for Road Transport (“Such a prohibition would, in principle, made a lot of problems in the procurement of new vehicles, especially in passenger traffic purchase of new buses. Enough of this would increase the cost of acquisition of these basic means”) OFF 5: For the Association of carriers of the Republic of Srpska, Euro 4 standard is far from reality. Precisely on their discretion, in the decision were left out commercial vehicles. TO6: NIKOLA GRBIĆ President of the Association of the carrier of the Republic of Srpska (“We believe that carriers in the RS and BiH are not strong enough yet to be able to import Euro 5 or Euro 6 Bearing in mind the difficult situation in the business, I think this is a good and positive decision which they brought to leave the Euro 3 standard.”) OFF 6: Although on paper the facts and motives seem pretty clear, it is different when you look at the car market, which for years did not record recovery signs. It is all about the economic situation, so the largest number of citizens not able to even think to buy a car, and those who can, easily afford secondhand.
