Tariffs place a 100 per cent surcharge on rapeseed oil, peas and oil cakes for animal feed. Aquatic products will face a 25 per cent levy
Canada has initiated a complaint against China at the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding extra tariffs imposed on agricultural and fisheries goods, according to an announcement from the organization on Monday.
The agency stated, “Canada has sought WTO dispute consultations with China regarding the latter’s actions that have imposed extra import tariffs on specific agricultural and fishery goods coming from Canada.”
The duties announced at the beginning of this month affect rapeseed oil, oil cakes — which serve as an animal feed — and peas coming into the country.

New Delhi [India], March 24 (ANI):
Lok Sabha
On Monday, discussions resumed regarding the Finance Bill, 2025, during which opposition members accused the government of offering “piecemeal fixes” and having an “incomplete Goods and Services Tax (GST)” system.
BJP
Members praising the government’s economic achievements, stating that the nation’s GDP has increased over two-fold within the past decade.
Initiating the discussion,
Congress
MP
Shashi Tharoor
indicated that the government’s handling of economic matters is fraught with long-standing structural issues.
He criticized the Finance Minister casually.
Nirmala Sitharaman
“. Examining this year’s Finance Bill… I believe she has adjusted her stance somewhat. Now, she is informing taxpayers, ‘Since I couldn’t fix the roof, consider this an umbrella for protection.’ ThisFinanceBill exemplifies piecemeal approaches during a period when the country requires clear vision, unwavering resolve, and strong leadership. The administration’s handling ofeconomicmanagementis grappling with deeply entrenchedstructuralchallenges. Growth forecasts have been reduced, double-digit expansion seems out of reach, and aspirations for sustainingahealthygrowthrateare diminishing,” he stated.
“Increased participation in agriculture among our populace is at an all-time high, whereas manufacturing has decreased to about 15 percent of the GDP. Individuals earning five or six times the average income are also finding it challenging to sustain their lifestyle. Thus, achieving ‘Developed India’ by 2047 is a commendable aim over the next 25 years; however, how will this finance bill help us reach that goal?” Tharoor questioned.
He stated that it has taken the government many years to understand that merely two percent of Indians, those who diligently pay their taxes, have been bearing the weight of this nation on their shoulders.
Salaried individuals from the middle class are currently shouldering a greater burden compared to corporations, as their contributions increased significantly without corresponding actions being taken. This fiscal year has seen an uptick in corporate taxes by approximately eight percent; however, individual and non-corporate taxes have surged by twenty-one percent. Finally, after this extended period, the administration has decided to offer certain tax relief measures for these salaried members of the middle class. Essentially, it is ordinary citizens who bear much of the governmental funding load—through various indirect levies like the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Our taxation framework not only features extraordinarily high rates but also holds the unenviable title of having one of the most intricate systems globally. It’s worth noting that despite seventy-seven nations implementing GST, many apply just one or two rate brackets.
BJP
MP
Nishikant Dubey
mentioned that the Union Budget advantages the average citizen.
“Led by the Prime Minister, the nation’s economy has grown over twofold in the past decade, and the
Congress
Has no link to the country’s economic situation. The budget that aids ordinary citizens and workers has only been introduced during the Modi administration,” Dubey stated.
The tax-to-GDP ratio has reached an all-time peak.
Congress
, which exonerated those implicated in the corruption related to the Bofors scandal, is now calling for a tax accounting.
Congress
“which levied taxes as high as 94 percent on the citizens of this nation, has never benefited the average person,” he claimed.
“The Modi government has reduced taxes on imported generic medicines and lowered import duties on machines used in fish farming and handloom industries,” he added.
Trinamool
Congress
MP
Mahua Moitra
charged the government with incompetence.
Albert Einstein once remarked that the most challenging aspect of life is comprehending income tax. Likewise, we struggle to grasp how this administration’s tax policies continue to exacerbate the significant gap between two versions of India. There is one version for the affluent and well-connected, akin to Kuber’s realm, and an entirely different reality for ordinary citizens—a situation they attribute to poor economic management under this government—much like Vishwakarma’s experience among the common people,” stated Moitra.
She noted that as per data from the Finance Ministry, around eight crore individuals submit tax returns annually, with merely 56 lakh earning above 15 lakhs each year.
In December 2024, responding to a parliamentary query, the Finance Ministry stated that there are 8 crores of taxpayers within this nation. However, among them, merely 56 lakhs earn over 15 lakhs annually. This group of 56 lakhs drives India’s entrepreneurship and service sectors; they alone contribute significantly through direct income tax payments. Under the revised system, anyone earning up to 12.5 lakhs yearly will not owe any tax. It must be noted that taxation remains feasible for just these 56 lakhs from an overall populace of 140 crores. Despite this, our country maintains a substantial Income Tax Department endowed with unusually expansive investigative capabilities akin to policing powers along with unrestricted discretionary authority, all supposedly justified as part of their enforcement role,” he remarked.
TMC
MP said.
“At least 5.6 million individuals benefit from a tiered taxation system; however, the remaining population of India, referred to as Vishwakarma India, does not receive such benefits. For these 1.39 billion inhabitants within Vishwakarma’s India, Goods and Services Tax (GST) acts as an equalizer yet in a highly regressive manner. During fiscal year 2023-24, the Indian government gathered approximately ₹20 trillion through GST, amounting to roughly ₹15,000 per individual. Consequently, whether one is a billionaire or earns wages on a daily basis, they all incur GST when purchasing necessities like food, transportation, and basic goods. No measures have been implemented to lessen this financial strain. Moreover, discussions around decreasing duties on essentials remain absent along with plans aimed at ensuring equitable wealth allocation,” she concluded.
The discussion will carry on into tomorrow. (ANI)

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., the prominent Chinese technology company, has declared its entry into the automotive sector with plans to invest in Morocco together with another Chinese firm, Wan’an Technology, as reported by Chinese media outlets.
This partnership aims at manufacturing and distributing automobile components, backed by an investment totaling €30 million, to establish a production facility in Morocco. It represents a significant move toward enhancing China’s presence in the automotive industry within this kingdom.
Huawei, recognized for its work in IT infrastructure and smart devices, plans to contribute 19.5 million euros (approximately 65% of the shares). In comparison, Wan’an Technology will provide an investment of 10.5 million euros (roughly 35%).
Wan’an focuses on producing and developing automotive braking systems and boasts a significant legacy within China’s automobile sector. The company possesses an auto manufacturing facility and entirely owns approximately eight firms, as well as having stakes in thirteen additional subsidiaries and partnerships.
The objective of this initiative is to enhance the competitive edge of Chinese automotive components producers in the North African and European marketplaces.
The same source highlighted that Huawei’s investment is integral to its plan for enhancing its worldwide footprint and boosting the competitive edge of its overseas activities.
Following the imposition of tariffs by the European Union on imported Moroccan aluminum alloy wheels, this development has occurred. The EU’s action is linked to financial assistance provided by China to one of Morocco’s export-producing companies as part of the Belt and Road Initiative.
The European Commission stated that it had been demonstrated that these imports, which were unfairly subsidized, damaged the European industry producing the same goods.
Nader Rong, a Chinese economist and reporter, stated that “the continuous trade conflict between China and the U.S., coupled with numerous tariffs placed on Chinese goods being shipped to Europe and America, has positioned Morocco as a key hub for various Chinese firms, particularly from the automobile industry, aiming to distribute their items within the Moroccan market.”
He thinks that “Morocco has turned into a center for Chinese automotive investments because of the reciprocal advantages it offers both nations.”
Rong stated that “Products made in China do not face Western tariffs in Morocco, making it an attractive destination for investment from the People’s Republic of China in this industry.”
He highlighted that “Morocco’s extensive expertise in automobile manufacturing, particularly with electric vehicles, along with its abundant reserves of raw materials like metals needed for batteries, makes it a compelling location for investments.”
The Moroccan economist Mehdi Fakir points out that Huawei, similar to other Chinese firms, shifted nearer to their targeted market regions with the aim of decreasing both manufacturing and transportation expenses.
Although tax and customs considerations might have played a role in choosing to invest in Morocco over Europe, the country’s enhanced infrastructure, more favorable business environment, and reduced production expenses—particularly in terms of labor and energy—were significant advantages.

Morocco and Ghana have entered into an agreement to exempt travelers from visa requirements when visiting each other’s countries. According to Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, this pact will shortly be submitted to the parliaments of Morocco and Ghana for approval.
On Monday, an announcement was made after a meeting took place between Ghana’s Foreign Minister and the Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Imane Ouaadil. During their discussions, they explored ways to enhance collaboration in areas such as agriculture and food production, tourism, and security. Additionally, both parties concurred on boosting educational ties bilaterally; Morocco decided to double the scholarship opportunities for Ghanaian students, raising the count from 90 to 180, beginning this year.
Ablakwa tweeted, “I’ve had productive and reassuring talks with the Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil. She confirmed that Ghanaians and all African residents in Morocco are safe, contradicting the numerous videos circulating online alleging that around 700 Africans are facing violence.”
This reconciliation comes after Ghana informed Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in January about suspending its relationship with the “Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).” The same stance was supported by Ibrahim Boughali, who serves as the Speaker of Parliament in Accra.
Ablakwa further explained that the Moroccan ambassador assured the safety of Ghanaians and other African residents in Morocco, dispelling false reports circulating online. He noted that the disputed video actually depicted an earlier event from June 24, 2022, at the border, where sadly 23 individuals lost their lives close to the Melilla-Nador barrier. However, he stressed that these events did not involve any Ghanaians.

The assistant coach of Amavubi, Eric Nshimiyimana, stated that his team learned valuable lessons from their recent 2-0 loss to Nigeria and aims to utilize these insights effectively before facing the Lesotho Crocodiles on Tuesday at Amahoro Stadium. This match remains crucial for keeping their aspirations for qualifying for the World Cup 2026 intact.
Rwanda slipped down to third position within Group C following this setback against Nigeria; however, Nshimiyimana believes they gained constructive elements during the encounter which could aid them towards securing victory over Lesotho. Following the defeat to Nigeria, acceptance was necessary. Football involves continuous learning and improvement—we must address certain errors swiftly since our next contest looms closer than expected. Some positive aspects emerged from the previous match, offering us opportunities to enhance performance moving forward. The upcoming fixture versus Lesotho requires an altered strategy compared to prior engagements, according to remarks made by Nshimiyimana during a preparatory media briefing held Monday.
It is imperative now more than ever that every player gives everything they’ve got when confronting Lesotho, aiming solely for maximum point accumulation. Fortunately, all squad members remain physically ready leading up to Wednesday’s showdown. Despite being sidelined owing to amassed cautionary warnings, team leader Djihad Bizimana shall not participate in subsequent play; nonetheless, Coach Nshimiyimana expressed confidence in available alternatives capable of filling the leadership void left behind. Instead, Thierry Manzi steps into command duties as designated captain going forth. Achieving triumph through such efforts places Amavubi firmly in second slot standings with ten total credits accrued thus far.

The stakeholders from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo Federal Constituency, within Oyo State, are urging Governor Seyi Makinde to intervene due to an ongoing crisis affecting their party locally.
Stakeholders hailing from Afijio, Atiba, Oyo East, and Oyo West local government areas made this plea after convening over the weekend. During their gathering, they emphasized the critical necessity of reviving and restoring the PDP within the federal constituency.
At the conclusion of their gathering, party members released a statement listing “unequal distribution of political positions and roles, actions against the interests of the party, concentration of authority, and disregard for the party charter” as key challenges impeding the party’s development within the constituency.
The statement entitled “Critical Need to Rescue, Revive, and Restore PDP in Oyo Federal Constituency” was endorsed by ex-Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Morufu Atilola; Alhaji Isiaka Adebayo; Alhaji Fatai Obabi; Mr. Wasiu Olaoti; Mr. Tunde Ogunlana, as well as an additional 29 individuals.
As stated in the document, “Every dedicated member of the PDP within the Oyo Federal Constituency has joined forces to rejuvenate and salvage their party from impending ruin caused by authoritarianism, betrayal, biased treatment, deceit, suppression, and public disputes.”
The stakeholders appealed to Governor Makinde, who they referred to as the party’s leader within the state, to “decentralize authority, promote full inclusion, and tackle various challenges impacting the party.”

They further pushed for acknowledging ex-Speaker Atilola officially as the head of the PDP within the Oyo Federal Constituency, emphasizing that he serves as a “unifying figure” with the capability to advance democratic principles.
As per their view, taking into account their suggestions could contribute to discovering a permanent resolution for the issues faced by the party within the constituency.
They stressed that adopting their suggestions would boost the party’s advancement, cautioning that the present system of indirect leadership has perpetually exacerbated the issues rather than resolving them.
The stakeholders also pointed out concerns like “an imbalance in the distribution of political positions and roles, subversive actions by certain party officials, concentration of authority on one side causing exclusion, defamation, and suppression, along with the ineffectiveness of party structures.”
They also criticized “failure to comply with the party’s constitution and lack of collective discussions and coordination during the previous local government elections.” They further expressed disappointment over “the total absence of information and communication resulting from the consolidation of power within one faction.”

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has discovered unauthorized crude oil refining activities in the creek areas of Odagwa community within the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Babawale Afolabi, the Public Relations Officer for NSCDC, disclosed this information in an official statement on Monday in Abuja. He mentioned that the achievement was accomplished by the Commandant General Special Intelligence Squad.
He pointed out that the Commandant General, Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has declared that during his tenure, the NSCDC will stay committed to combating oil theft, vandalism, and economic sabotage within the oil industry.
Audi reinforced his commitment to launch an unyielding battle against individuals who benefit from the oil-rich areas via illicit transactions involving fuel products.
After completing his mission in the Niger Delta, he addressed his team to uplift their spirits, ensure the security of key oil facilities, and supervise efforts against sabotage in the region’s waters.

He stated that the Nigerian Navy’s Special Interdiction Squadron (SIS), headed by Commandant AS Dandaura, has achieved significant and indisputable success in tackling crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region. Recently, more than 65 illicit oil storage sites and illegal refining facilities have been taken down.
“While monitoring oil installations and facilities across the Niger Delta, our men responded swiftly to an intelligence tip-off that there has been an organised operation of illegal refining of crude oil ongoing in the creeks at Odagwa Community in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
“Upon arrival, the CG’s SIS discovered that vandals had manoeuvred through the creeks and accessed the main oil trunk line, connected their installed pipes, and channelled the crude into reservoirs. It was then directed through a cooking process and later packaged and bagged in cellophane nylons and kegs.
“As soon as the suspects spotted our team from a distance, they fled immediately. Meanwhile, the agents discovered an unauthorized fuel refinement operation at the location, where items like Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and DPK were scattered around,” he said.
As per the report, items found at the crime scene consist of substantial amounts of pilfered crude oil that has been transferred into plastic wraps and barrels, resources utilized for illicitly processing crude oil, multiple zinc-coated steel tubes, discarded attire along with various individual possessions, metallic pails, and additional objects.
However, the CG urged the public to keep supplying the Corps with reliable information.

The Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) chapter of the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has reaffirmed its dedication to enhancing member benefits and promoting a more conducive academic atmosphere.
On Monday, when addressing reporters in Awka, Professor Chigozie Damian Ezeonyejiaku, who leads the UNIZIK Chapter, mentioned that the recent appearance of CONUA at the institution is designed to provide an environment for scholars working in Nigeria’s public universities to flourish. He stressed that the organization aims to foster academic independence and safeguard the welfare of its members.
As he stated, “The organization began full operations at UNIZIK on March 12, 2025, and I had the good fortune to become the founding coordinator. You are aware that CONUA, similar to other allied associations within the institution, is officially recognized by the federal government to offer a forum for academic staff members in Nigerian universities.”
“The union gives top priority to the well-being of academics, maintaining a stable academic setting, and ensuring intellectual freedom,” he further stated.
Professor Ezeonyejiaku similarly urged the federal government to tackle the ongoing problem of brain drain in universities and emphasized the importance of allocating sufficient funds to the educational sector as a means to secure the country’s future.
He urged potential members to become part of CONUA and benefit from the various opportunities offered by the organization. These benefits extend beyond individual growth to include significant contributions toward enhancing higher education in Nigeria.
