Wednesday, 31 December, 2008: Tripoli, Libya (AP) - Libya's oil chief says his
country will cut production - starting in January - by almost 20,000 barrels per
day more than Libya's OPEC quota. National Oil Corporation head Shukri
Ghanem says the latest cuts would bring Libya's total output reduction to
270,000 barrels per day from September levels. That is about 20,000 barrels
more than the country is required to cut under its OPEC quota. The new cut was
ordered Tuesday. It comes as the 13-member OPEC cartel struggles to boost oil
prices. They have fallen by about 70 percent from mid-July highs amid a global
financial meltdown. [AP]

figure was based, among other things, on the crude oil price, Tsygankov said,

Premier Silvio Berlusconi said over the weekend that the Libyan Energy Fund
had expressed an interest in buying into Eni SpA as long as Italian authorities
approved. Details of the proposed stake have not been released. Eni CEO Paolo
Scaroni said on the sidelines of an appearance in Parliament that it would be "a
positive thing" if an oil-producing country like Libya were a shareholder in Eni,
which has been active in Libya since 1959. Earlier this year, Eni signed new gas
and oil contracts with Libya that secured Eni's place in the north African country
until 2047. [AP]

Wednesday, 10 December, 2008: (Reuters) - Libya should face no political
obstacles to its purchase of an interest in Italian oil major Eni SpA (ENI.MI:
Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), though buying a stake of 10 percent or
more would be cause for concern, Italy's foreign minister said on Tuesday. "I
don't see any political problems," Franco Frattini told reporters when asked
about Libya's interest in Eni. "Above all, the step taken by the Libyans of giving ...
notice demonstrates their intention of not seeking control of the company, but a
financial investment," he said. But Frattini later told Italian television that Italy
"would start to worry" if Libya's ownership in Eni touched 10 percent, saying a
stake of about 8 percent would be "suitable." [Reuters]

Wednesday, 10 December, 2008: (ANSAmed) - Milan, Dec. 9 - While Libya tries
to enter into Enìs capital, trade relations with Italy continue to grow, with
import-exports in the first eight months of the year exceeding 14 billion euro and
confirming the North African country as Italy's top trading partner in the
Mediterranean. The figures emerge from a study by the Milan Chamber of
Commerce into the latest Istat figures for import-export between Italy and 13
Mediterranean basin countries (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Malta,
Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Jordan). In
January-August imports from Libya grew by 40% compared with the first eight
months of 2007, exceeding 12.4 billion euro. This represents 45.9% of imports
from the med area and puts the country in first place among Italy's suppliers in
the region. [ANSAmed]

in America, where he studied in the 1970s. A former director of Libya's Centre for
Strategic Studies, he also used to be the chief of airline security for Libyan Arab
Airlines. He is thought to have visited the UK on a number of occasions - the first
trip was to Cardiff in 1971, when he stayed for nine months as a student. He
visited London when he worked for the Libyan airline, staying in a hotel in
Hounslow. When Megrahi was paraded before the world's media in 1992 to
disprove numerous reports that he and his co-accused had been executed by
the Libyan authorities, journalists described him as surprisingly quietly spoken
