After a briefing by transport minister, Mustapha Mansouri, on the Ksar-El Kebir accident which killed 35 people, the government said road-safety policy ought to be reviewed and action by the national committee for road-accident prevention reconsidered.
Road-accidents claim 3,000 lives and 60,000 are injured every year, and new legislation on road traffic is soon to be introduced in Parliament.
