BRUSSELS: Uber said it would suspend operations in Morocco, two years after they began, as it tries to bring its business into line with local laws. 

Uber has already halted services in Norway and Finland as it waits for the regulatory framework to change in those countries, a sign of the less pugnacious approach the company is taking toward local authorities.
