Moroccan consumer protection organizations have raised concerns regarding service quality and transparency in various sectors.

Initially, the Moroccan Observatory for Consumer Protection called for increased oversight of transportation services during the summer season. The group highlighted issues such as overcrowding, delays, and a lack of passenger information, urging authorities to strengthen complaint mechanisms and ensure passenger rights are clearly displayed.

Subsequently, the Moroccan University for Consumer Rights criticized irregularities in the Schengen visa application process. The organization reported concerns regarding intermediary service providers, specifically citing a lack of transparency in cash-only payment requirements and the use of ‘unknown algorithms’ to process applications. They also challenged arbitrary conditions imposed on applicants during the process.
