Spain will train and employ a group of Moroccan truck drivers as a way to channel migration into Europe's transport sector affected by an acute labour shortage, a senior Spanish government source told Reuters during a summit in Rabat.
Major Western economies, including Spain, have suffered from such shortages in the last two years, leading to supply problems and bottlenecks. Europe needed around 400,000 truck drivers, according to the European Road Hauliers Association figures released in 2021.
