Trade Ministry decided to apply the law on identifying the
quality standards and the quality of vehicles that are marketed in
Algeria, before the beginning of the International Automobile Fair,
which will be held in the period between 12 and 22 March, as it asked
the dealers for the need to respect the standards of safety in all cars
that will be exhibited in the fair, and prevented the marketing of
vehicles that do not contain airbags and ABS anti-braking system.
This action is aims at
providing a minimum of safety and security that must be available in
cars that are marketed and manufactured in Algeria, especially in light
of the rising traffic accidents and accusing many importers to market
cars do not have the lowest standards of safety, and which were banned
by many of the European and Arab countries.
Algerian Association of agents
accredited to market cars, expressed satisfaction of these procedures,
in order to regulate the vehicles market in Algeria, which is witnessing
an unprecedented chaos; "Algeria becomes a dustbin of cars, especially
in light of the proliferation of a large number of importers and
non-official agents, who sank the national market with vehicles that do
not respect the lowest safety conditions.
With regard to the new procedures,
which will mark the 18th International Automobile Fair, authorized
dealers to respect the delivery deadlines that must not exceed 45 days
as required by law, as services of the Trade Ministry received black
reports on customers and the Algerian Association for consumers , about
the delivery deadlines by some agents which exceeded one year, and this
is what is considered a serious encroachment on the right of customers
who have been deprived of even the restoration of the first part paid,as
the new procedure required the agents not to accept orders for cars
that are not in stores delivery, or those that the deadlines of delivery
exceed 45 days.
For the first time, utilitarian
vehicles like "trucks, buses, tractors and commercial vehicles will not
participate in the fair, because the Ministry committed agents to bring
only touristic cars, due to the high number of participants who will
exceed this year 70 accredited agents, representing the five continents,
in addition to organizing a fair for the utilitarian vehicles in June
2014.
