For the rest five months it was pre-decided to allocate an additional 5 billion rubles, he said. There is no government decision - it is expected that the document will be signed in August, said a source close to the Ministry of Industry.

"We have already provided in the II quarter discounts for recycling in amount of 1 billion Rubles for our own account, so in August we did not renew the program", - the vice president group, Elena Matveeva, informed Vedomosti". 

The mechanism is already debugged and automakers have no reason to doubt about the receipt of funds to compensate for the discounts, said an employee of one of the automobile plants. Another thing is that the 5 billion rubles until the end of 2015 look as a small amount compared to the first half of year.
