So far the talk at a national level seems to be a scrappage scheme, which I assume would be voluntary. Those who are passionate about their 306's wouldn't be tempted to give them up even in the face of a financial incentive ....I guess??!
Am in France at the moment n I estimate at least 2/3 of the cars here (outside the cities) are diesel. That includes A LOT more older cars than you see in the UK. Am staying in a village where there are at least 5 306's!!!! My guess is that on a Euro level at least, forcing people to give up their old cars would probably be politically impossible. They'll gradually make it harder to own diesel cars in some circumstances (city centre charges, added fuel duty perhaps) but beyond that it'll surely be business as usual for the forseeable future?
