This memorandum enumerates on the one hand the conditions for benefiting from such exemption; and on the other hand, abolishes all previous decisions and memorandums related to the means of transport of disabled persons. It is to be noted however that, for the first time a government service linked to the Ministry of Finance arises clearly and without ambiguity the issue of combatting smuggling and corruption as well as the issue of preventing public money waste in its decisions. Besides, it points out in its motivations to the need for reducing bureaucracy, improving services and fighting corruption and waste of time after a precise description of the said.
