This contract, according to an article published in Diario Libre in the Wednesday, 14 March edition, is the subject of a lawsuit that has been going on for eight years, after the Directorate General of Customs (DGA) expressed its refusal to put into practice the agreement signed in 2002 because it considered it abusive and not transparent.
