モロッコの裁判所は３新聞に対して、カダフィ大佐への名誉毀損として 29 日、300 万デ
ィルハム（３７万 2700 ドル）の罰金支払いを命じた。
Tuesday, 30 June, 2009: RABAT (Reuters) - Three newspapers were ordered by a
Moroccan court to pay Libya a total of 3 million dirhams ($372,300) in damages on
Monday for defaming its leader Muammar Gaddafi. The papers were also fined 100,000
dirhams ($12,410) each for "attacks on the character and the dignity of a head of
state", Moroccan official news agency MAP reported. Defence lawyers said the case
was flawed because Gaddafi is not formally head of state in Libya but is known simply
as "Brother Leader and Guide of the Revolution". "This (trial) is a blow for press
freedom in Morocco and an attempt to execute the press," Morocco's National Press
Union said in a statement ahead of the verdict. [Reuters]

Wednesday, 3 June, 2009: Casablanca - Human rights activists Monday slammed
Libya for filing a defamation suit against three Moroccan newspapers accused of
slandering strongman Moamer Gathafi and bemoaning his iron-fisted rule. The Libyan
embassy pressed charges against Al Massae, Al Jarida Al Oula and Al Ahdat Al
Maghribiya newspapers for criticising Gathafi and Tripoli's rights record. Several
gathered outside the court in Casablanca brandishing anti-Gathafi placards. "Gathafi
behaves like a lion in front of Arabs and Africans but is like a rabbit when he faces
Westerners," a placard said. Ali Anouzla, one of three journalists named in the libel
suit, said: "I wrote in February in an article that there is no democracy in North Africa,
including Libya. I stick to this stand." The trial was deferred to June 15. [Middle East

ExxonMobil Corp.はリビアで保有する鉱区のうち最初の大水深掘削井に着手。
Saturday, 27 June, 2009: Exxon Mobil Corp. on Friday said it was beginning to drill the
first of three deepwater exploration wells off the coast of Libya, as the company
increases activity in the oil-rich nation. Tim Cejka, Exxon's head of exploration, said in
an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the deepwater exploration program
would start in the next couple days. Exxon, the world's largest publicly traded oil
company by market value and output, won exploration rights in licensing rounds three
years ago and was also awarded another exploration block directly by the government.
With about 44 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, the eighth most in the world, Libya
is an enticing region for Western oil companies. Exxon, based in Irving, Texas, first
discovered oil there in 1960 but left the country in 1986 when Washington prohibited
U.S. oil companies from investing there. The U.S. ended its official designation of Libya
as a terrorism sponsor in 2006. [WSJ]

Friday, 26 June, 2009: (ANSAmed) - Three weeks ago getting a tourist visa to visit
Libya suddenly became more complicated and the result is a steep decline in the
number of new tourist arrivals to the country. The new rules do not allow tourists to
pick up their visa directly in the airport, as used to happen before. Now it can only be
released by Libyan embassies and consulates located in the countries of origin, and a
lot of paperwork is also needed. For example, a six month passport visa requires a
bilingual stamp, health insurance worth 30,000 euros, a bank statement covering the
past 6 months, an invitation by a local travel agency, a hotel reservation and a return
airline ticket. Once the mentioned paperwork has been submitted, the request will be
processed in 10 to 12 days. However, the Libyan embassy in Rome and the consulate
in Milan are hard pressed to meet demand (partly because of limited office hours) and
many have had to change their travel schedule. [ANSAmed]

Verenex move stalled by Libya probe
China National Petroleum Corporation's (CNPC) planned $360 million takeover of
Calgary-based Verenex Energy has hit a new hurdle, with the Libyan authorities
launching a probe into Verenex's pre-qualification for the Exploration & Production
Sharing Agreement (EPSA) IV round. CNPC's takeover of Verenex - agreed earlier
this year - requires the consent of both Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) and
the General People's Council.
Consent to the deal has not yet been granted, with NOC saying it may exercise its
pre-emption rights and take control of the Canadian company itself. It now appears
10
that until the investigation is completed, there can be no progress on the Verenex
takeover.
Verenex said in a statement issued today that it had asked CNPC to agree to
extending the outside date for closure of the takeover until 24 August.
However, Verenex added: “Investors are cautioned that there can be no assurance
that consent to the offer by CNPC will be received soon from Libyan authorities, or
that a sale transaction will be concluded on the terms contemplated or at all." In the
statement, Verenex said the authorities are looking into allegations it was improperly
pre-qualified to bid in the 2005 EPSA round, in which it won Area 47. “Verenex
considers these allegations to be without merit and vigorously denies them,” the
company said. No specific improprieties or details of the allegations have been
provided to Verenex.” Verenex pointed out that the allegations are being made four
years after the award and coincide with its request for consent for the sale of the
company.
The company said that during talks held with NOC ahead of CNPC's offer, NOC had
indicated that it required an approval bonus in return for agreeing to Verenex's
takeover.
The Canadian player said that , based on indications from NOC, it estimated the bonus
would be about C$46.7 million (US$41.1 million). Verenex added NOC had indicated
that payment of the bonus would speed up the approval process, with formal consent
being granted within three to four weeks. "Since the execution of [the agreement with
CNPC] in February 2009, Verenex has actively sought NOC's consent to the
transaction. However, to date NOC has continually refused or failed to provide such
consent," Verenex said.
The company, which said it had enough cash to pay for planned work over the next
few months, added its annual and special meeting of shareholders will go ahead as
planned on 10 August.

Wednesday, 17 June, 2009: Shukri Ghanem, a senior official at Libya's oil industry and
its representative to the OPEC organization estimated in an interview to the
al-Arabiya network that the rise in oil prices would continue till the end of 2009.
Ghanem estimated that the price of an oil barrel will reach about $90 by the end of
2009, and the average barrel price throughout the year will stand at $80. Ghanem
noted that the recent rise in the prices of oil had nothing to do with the supply and
demand mechanism in the market but with speculations. He stressed that the supply
was big and that this should send the prices down, but that in practice the prices are
rising due to future contracts. The Libyan rejected warnings made by experts of the

amends. The visit comes after Italy agreed last year to pay its former African colony
$5 billion over 25 years to compensate for the occupation from 1911 to 1943. That
paved the way for closer commercial ties between the two countries and increased

リビア政府は 1 日、サイフ氏が 2 年前に設立した Al-Ghad を政府のコントロール下に
置くことを発表。
Tuesday, 2 June, 2009: TRIPOLI - Libya said on Monday it plans to nationalise a media
company set up by the son of its leader Moammar al-Gathafi, effectively making the
28
press a state-controlled monopoly again. The government will take control of satellite
channels, radio, newspapers and a printing house run by Al-Ghad which was launched
two years ago by Seif al-Islam, the cabinet said in a statement. Seif al-Islam, seen by
many as a reformer, has called on several occasions for press freedom and the
media's independence from the state in the north African country. In 2007, Al-Ghad
launched two ground-breaking independent newspapers, which in their first few
months broke a string of taboos by publishing criticism of senior officials. [Middle East

Thursday, 4 June, 2009: Libya's government plans to nationalize media companies set

A government decree creates a National Media Center, which main purpose is to
control the media in Libya. All the nationalized media companies will preserve their
names and logos. However, their editorial policy is yet to be put under the state's
supervision. Seif al-Islam, seen by many as a reformer, has called on several
occasions for press freedom and the media's independence from the state. [Novinite]

Monday, 1 June, 2009: Interfax-Ukraine citing Ms Yulia Tymoshenko Ukrainian PM has
said that Libya with its supplies of natural gas could be a good partner for Ukraine's
chemical enterprises which use natural gas as a raw material. She said while opening
the talks in the Libyan capital of Tripoli that "Ukrainian chemical plants are
economically viable when they have enough natural gas. Libya could help these
enterprises make profit." Ms Tymoshenko noted that the privatization of OJSC Odesa
Port-Side Plant is currently underway and suggested Libya could participate in this
process. She said that the enterprise's location on the Black Sea coast and a large
volume of mineral fertilizers which it produces could be of interest to Libyan partners.

Monday, 1 June, 2009: Libya has asked Brussels for $1 billion (€707 million) worth of
technical assistance and equipment in exchange for more collaboration with Europe
on the illegal immigration front. Following its recent decision to collaborate more
closely with Italy and take back immigrants who had left from its shores, Libya is now
piling pressure on the EU to provide it with boats, helicopters, trucks and other
equipment in an attempt to patrol its borders. In its efforts to offer tangible help to
Malta and Italy to curb these migration flows, the EU is more inclined to offer
assistance once Libya has started to show more collaboration. [Times Of Malta]
