Sure some financial incentives for people to get rid of their old irons could be somewhat effective, but I still consider somewhat pointless to simply take them out of the road and scrap them. Well, many Diesel engines that remain quite popular in Europe, such as Renault's 1.5dCi, have much parts commonality with older naturally-aspirated and mechanically-governed IDI versions. Had it been only about pollution mitigation instead of a plain "greenwashing" propaganda stunt, I believe it would've been so much more effective to support retrofits into the "outdated" cars when they get due to an engine overhaul. Well, let's consider an Alfa Romeo 146 with a 1.9L turbodiesel, its engine is a variation of the same Pratola Serra modular engine series that originated the 1.6L and 2.0L Multijet engines currently fitted to the Jeep Renegade.
