Spain Imposes Fuel Restrictions on Moroccan Truckers, Sparking Controversy

The law that the Spanish authorities have just reactivated dates back to 1992. The fact that it is being put back on the table penalizes several drivers, especially with the health crisis that the world is going through and which has destabilized many sectors.

The president of the Moroccan Association of Exporters (ASMEX), Hassan Sentissi El Idrissi, has contacted Ministers Moulay Hafid El Alami, in charge of industry and commerce, and Abdelakder Amara, of equipment, transport, logistics and water, to explain his surprise at seeing a law that has never been applied being activated without prior information to the persons concerned. "The application of this law risks penalizing a large part of our exports to the European Union that use road transport, which will be directly impacted," reports Hespress.

According to the same source, ASMEX is calling on the two ministers to intervene with the Spanish authorities to stop this law and preserve the competitiveness of exports.
