Cuba plans to eliminate the ration card

The Cuban government has published a 32 page PDF document titled Lineamientos de la Politica Economica y Social (Guidelines of the Economic and Social Policy)

162. Implementar la eliminación ordenada de la libreta de abastecimiento, como forma de distribución normada, igualitaria y a precios subsidiados, que favorece tanto al ciudadano necesitado como al no necesitado, induce a las personas a prácticas de
trueque y reventa, y propicia un mercado subterráneo.

Translation:

162. Implementing the orderly elimination of the ration card as a form of rationed, egalitarian and subsidized prices, which benefits both the needy citizen and the one that does not have needs, and it induces people to practice barter and resale, and creates an underground market.
