Britain lifts embargo from Libya

Britain on Wednesday announced it has lifted the embargo on exporting planes, spare parts and other equipment relating to aviation to Libya. British Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Hoon said in an official statement that this decision is to complete the UN decision on lifting the embargo after the two Libyans suspected of being involved in the Lockerbie incident were handed over to by tried in the Hague, Holland in April.

The statement added the necessary instructions will be given to the British exporters in this respect.
