Paris Court Clears Libya's NOC of Swiss Legal Claims
Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) has announced a major legal victory after the Paris Court of Appeal ruled in its favour, dismissing three lawsuits filed by Swiss companies seeking to seize its assets worth €35 million. The ruling, issued on 13 March 2025, nullified all precautionary seizures placed on NOC accounts and properties in France. In a statement released on Wednesday, NOC confirmed that the dispute involved Sysmed Travel, Jallouli Communications Group Easy Media, and Hopital de la Tour. These companies had attempted to enforce international arbitration awards against the Libyan state by freezing NOC's assets, including shares in Al-Mabrouk Oil Operations and certain bank accounts. 'This ruling underscores our determination to defend Libya's national resources and protect the corporation's assets from unlawful claims,' NOC said in its statement. However, NOC acknowledged a setback in a separate arbitration case against the Cypriot company Olin. The company secured a €24.37 million award against the Libyan state in August 2018 and later obtained a court order to seize NOC funds in France on 10 November 2022. NOC sought to lift this seizure through French courts, but the Paris Court of Appeal rejected its request on 19 June 2025. The court ruled that NOC, as an extension of the Libyan state, does not enjoy immunity from enforcement even if it was not a direct party to the dispute. The corporation confirmed it is now pursuing an appeal before the French Court of Cassation to overturn the ruling and safeguard its assets. 'We will exhaust all legal avenues to protect Libya's oil wealth,' the statement added. Tags: libyanocOil CorporationParis CourtSwiss Companies

UK competition watchdog eyes special abuse control regime for Apple, Google
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced a preliminary decision to designate mobile platform giants Apple and Google with "strategic market status", meaning they would become subject to special abuse controls by the UK regulator – in a similar approach to the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). On Wednesday, the CMA announced that it's proposing to designate the two tech giants – saying that it had found 90-100% of mobile devices in the UK run on either Apple- or Google-owned mobile platforms, making the pair "an effective duopoly". A "strategic market status" designation on Apple and Google would unlock bespoke powers for the CMA's Digital Markets Unit to tackle platform-specific competition risks, with the wider goal of boosting the UK's app economy. The CMA has a number of concerns about Apple and Google's platforms, including restrictions placed on app developers' ability to steer consumers to offers outside the tech giants' own app stores – an issue which led the EU's executive to slap the iPhone-maker with a €500 million fine under the bloc's DMA earlier this year. It also said it wants to investigate restrictions the two companies' platforms put on developers' access to "features and functionality". Under the EU's DMA, Apple and Google's app stores are both designated as "core platform services" – meaning the app marketplaces are subject to an up-front list of obligations and prohibitions, such the DMA's ban on gatekeepers' self-preferencing. Apple has already been fined in relation to anti-steering under the DMA. Since March it has also been in talks with the Commission about implementing interoperability features to comply with the pan-EU law. Google, meanwhile, was also found by the Commission to have violated the DMA's rules on steering in relation to its Play Store – although it has yet to receive a fine. "Time is of the essence: as competition agencies and courts globally take action in these markets, it's essential the UK doesn't fall behind," said Sarah Cardell, Chief Executive of the CMA, in a statement. Also today, the UK watchdog published separate roadmaps for actions the two mobile giants could take to improve competition – and avoid the risk of future enforcement – outlining measures focused on areas including interoperability, AI services, and consumer choice. A final decision by the CMA on whether to designate Apple and Google with "strategic market status" will be taken by 22 October. (nl)
