Russia and Libyan tycoons were identified as the key beneficiaries of the illicit trade. Libya, despite having the largest oil reserves in Africa, has limited refining capacity and imports most of its refined petroleum products, providing the products to Libyans via generous Gaddafi-era subsidies. However, there is very little oversight of the program and efforts to reform it have been stonewalled, allowing smugglers to make a hefty margin by shipping fuel purchased at subsidized rates to buyers in Europe. The mechanism has also allowed Russia to redirect some of its fuel exports to Europe via re-exports from Libya, after Europe closed its doors to Russian energy imports in the wake of the country\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. <\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 subscribe-box-panel\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"title\">\n<h4 class=\"fw-lighter mb-10\">   Get <b style=\"font-weight: 700\">Enterprise<\/b> daily   <\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-10\">The roundup of news and trends that move your markets and shape corporate agendas delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"logistics\/en\/user\/NewsLetters\" type=\"button \" class=\"btn-green px-3 d-flex align-items-center\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe here<\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:0;line-height:1.15;margin-right:-9pt;margin-left:0;font-family:\" arial\";margin-top:0;orphans:2;margin-bottom:0;widows:2;text-align:left\"=\"\"><strong>CIRCLE YOUR CALENDAR-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;font-family:\" arial\";line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"=\"\"><strong>The UAE will host <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/middleeast.breakbulk.com\/home\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Breakbulk Middle East<\/a><\/strong><strong> on 12 and 13 February<\/strong> in Dubai.
