Dans un communiqué, Zenith Energy a indiqué avoir lancé la procédure judiciaire contre la Tunisian Republic following a “series of actions undertaken by the Tunisian government to the material detriment of the commercial interests of investors and “unreasonable and arbitrary obstructions” in connection with the development of the Sidi El Kilani and Ezzaouia concessions. According to the oil company, these actions are contrary to the terms of the licences and constitute “unjustified obstructions” to the processing of the sale of the oil produced

La société a annoncé que des efforts ont été déployés pour entrer en contact avec les organismes gouvernementaux competent in Tunisia, but they were not successful. Thus, arbitration was therefore launched “to safeguard its commercial interests and legal rights.”
