Libyan eorts to the EU are down whilst its imports are up in 2013 compared to 2012, the EU's Eurostat reports.
Libyan exports to the EU were down whilst its imports were up in 2013 compared to 2012, the EU’s Eurostat reports.

Tripoli, 7 April 2014:

The European Union ‘s (EU) statistics office, Eurostat, revealed that Libya’s exports to the 28 EU . . .[restrict]member states (EU28) were down whilst its imports increased in 2013, compared to 2012.

This decrease of Libyan exports to the EU28 is attributed to the embargo of Libya’s oil export terminal by the militant and alleged federalist militias in the eastern oil terminal region headed by Ibrahim Jadran.

Eurostat reports that Libya was the fourth largest African exporter to the EU with exports valued at € 23 bn or 14 percent of all African exports to the EU in 2013. In 2012 this was valued at € 32.8 bn.
