...Scrapping schemes can have similar effects. The aim is to pump up weak car sales while at the same time taking older, potentially more polluting vehicles off the road. This seems to be working, at least in Germany. The VDA expects registrations for the first quarter of 2009 to trump those seen in the same period last year.

...system," he told TIME, also speaking by cell phone from an undisclosed location to evade arrest. "Existing examples of democratic government are testament to the fact that you can't have a stable parliament without an independent judiciary - it's a sine qua non.
