“We are currently looking at some delays or postponements in some of our projects, including Morocco,” a Nissan spokesperson told news agency AFP.


“But at this point in time we do not have any announcement,” the official added.

The Tangiers factory was due to start operating in 2010 with an investment of 600 million euros.
