European Union has removed two Iranian gas companies from the list of its sanctions. This is the first step since signing of the agreement between Iran and the world powers, wrote Expert business magazine.
Petropars Operation and Management and Petropars Resources Engineering companies have managed to prove that there were no serious grounds for their inserting into the list.
The companies are part of the group extracting natural gas on the Iranian Southern Pars field.
The letter from the British treasury shows that capital of two companies has been unblocked. Two more Iranian companies – Petropas Iran and Petropars Oilfields Services – are still under the sanctions, because of a big share in the National Iranian Oil Company.
