Recent reports from reliable sources indicate that professionals and owners of international freight transport trucks held an extensive meeting on Tuesday with Abdel Samad Guioh, the Minister of Transport and Logistics. The discussions revolved around the various challenges and issues currently plaguing the sector.
According to informed sources, Guioh assured industry stakeholders that the government is committed to finding necessary solutions to the obstacles they face, particularly concerning driver visas and the challenges posed by European Union countries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad is reportedly working on this issue in collaboration with European partners to resolve these problems as swiftly as possible.
Sources from Hespress noted that the meeting between the Minister of Transport and Logistics and representatives of the international transport sector was “positive,” emphasizing that genuine attention was given to the serious challenges facing this vital sector.
The governmental efforts in this regard aim to streamline processes and ensure the continued flow of Moroccan exports to the European market while avoiding various obstacles that international freight transport operators encounter. These operators have raised concerns about the barriers affecting drivers and the potential damages these may cause to Moroccan exports.
It is worth mentioning that international freight transport operators had threatened to initiate a comprehensive strike at the beginning of next week in protest against the hurdles and harassment their drivers experience in European Union countries. Issues such as delays, visa denials, and disruptions to entry and exit operations have been highlighted, especially following the recent detention of a Moroccan driver in Germany due to visa issues.
