After protests cabinet halts delivery while awaiting analysis
The Moroccan cabinet on Thursday announced that the unloading of Italian rubbish due to be treated in the country had been suspended while waiting for it to be tested.
Environmentalists have in recent days protested the arrival of 2,500 tons of waste from Italy.
The government has decided that no treatment of waste from other countries will be allowed in the future. The decision is legally binding but not retroactive.
The testing ordered by the environment ministry is being done in France and the announcement of the cabinet’s decision was made by Minister for Communications Mustapha Kahlfi.
