Cars import is expanding to the ministries and public institutions

Problem of cars that are retained in ports because of the decision to freeze the banking resettlement process raises the ire of the authorized dealers, who are preparing to hold a General Assembly soon, to discuss the crisis, in light of the continued seizure of 4,000 cars, which are vehicles that have recently been imported in accordance to the conditions’ book that was dedicated for tenders which are made by public companies and ministries.

Sources from the association told Echorouk that car dealers suffer from the problem of cars that are seized in ports, including luxury cars which value exceeds 100.000 ZDZ per day, the amount which is increasing terribly.

“The decision included this time vehicles of ministries and public institutions for which tenders were launched for their receipt under certain conditions.”

Same source wondered about the secret of freezing the vehicles that were imported in accordance with the tenders that were submitted by the ministries, public companies and state bodies under specific conditions saying: “We imported cars that were requested by ministries, public companies and state bodies under certain conditions, the conditions that are imposed by the tender’s burdens notebook, and this latter does not match with the new book of conditions, for the regulation of the activity of the accredited car dealers, and why does all these vehicles are seized in ports “.

“Car dealers are not ready to assume these vehicles’ losses, especially since the owners are public institutions and state bodies, and there is no formal justification to prevent their entry. General Assembly had not received until now any response by the Industry Ministry, Abdessalam Bouchouareb, about the problem, which begins to take other dimensions”.
