* Lorry drivers in Peru have ended a strike that had seen key highways blocked around the country since 22 November. A spokesman for the truckers’ union Gremio de Transportistas y Conductores (GTC), Javier Corrales, told local radio station RPP Noticias that lorry drivers had been ordered to end the strike action following the reaching of an agreement between 37 unions and the transport and communications ministry. This includes a preliminary agreement on a 70% reduction in the consumer tax (ISC) on fuel paid by lorry drivers. Corrales said that “it’s been agreed that this must be done without any sort of restriction”.
