Cabinet to decide on open trucks ban

Manama, January 3, 2009

The decision to ban transportation of workers in open trucks was taken by Prime Minister Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Interior Minister said yesterday.

'Efforts are on to get an extension at the next Cabinet meeting, based on a meeting held with BCCI officials, where they requested more time before starting to implement the ban,' said Shaikh Rashid.

'Bahrain is accountable to the International Labour Organisation as well as to the workers' countries of origin,' he said, adding that several GCC countries had already implemented the ban.-TradeArabia News Service
