EU lifts sanctions on two Iranian oil producers
The European Union has removed two Iranian oil companies from its sanctions list, the first such action since Iran reached a nuclear agreement with world powers earlier this month.
Petropars Operation and Management and Petropars Resources Engineering had argued there was insufficient evidence to include them.
The companies are part of a group involved in extracting natural gas from Iran's South Pars field.
