The European Union extended its asset freeze on some Libyan energy
companies, aligning its sanctions to those agreed by the United Nations
Security Council last week and clarifying doubts about the inclusion of certain
firms, its Official Journal showed Thursday.
E.U. governments froze the assets of Azzawia Refining, Ras Lanuf Oil and Gas
Processing Co., or RASCO, Brega, Sirte Oil Co. and Waha Oil Co., all
subsidiaries of
Libya
's
National Oil Corp., or NOC, whose assets were also included, the Journal
showed.
The EU didn't hit other NOC units such as Tamoil, an oil refining company with
sizeable operations in
Italy
and
Germany
. However,
the list is under constant review, and more companies could be included soon,
an EU official said.
The EU decided Wednesday that it would publish fresh sanctions on
Libya
this
week, including an asset freeze on companies and people covered by the U.N.
Security Council resolution 1973 as well as other oil firms.
Among the companies targeted by the U.N. resolution that weren't already
subject to EU measures are NOC and some commercial airlines.
