Unregulated Leather Markets in Fes Face Official Scrutiny
A mixed inspection committee arrived at the leather market in Ain Nqabi, Fes, on Saturday, to commence oversight of parallel markets that have emerged outside the designated leather sales area. This initiative is part of a broader campaign aimed at addressing violations related to the sale of leather products outside the official market, particularly in light of the upcoming Eid al-Adha celebrations. The operation was initiated upon the request of the President of the Fes Municipal Council, who noted the existence of unauthorized spaces selling leather, which undermines both the interests of the municipality and the rights of legitimate traders operating within the regulated market.
According to correspondence sent to the members of the monitoring committee, this operation is part of the enforcement of regulatory provisions governing the leather market, specifically Article 33, which outlines the duties of monitoring and oversight. The importance of this market is heightened during the Eid al-Adha period, as it experiences a significant surge in commercial activity. The inspection team includes representatives from local authorities, security forces, and relevant municipal services, and operations commenced at 9 AM in the Ain Nqabi leather market.
