NEW YORK, April 27 (Hina) - Croatia, its legal institutions nor companies have not in any way been involved in the violation of UN's sanctions against Iraq, UN officials responded Friday to claims that Iraqi oil ended up at Croatia's
island of Krk via a ship belonging to American billionaire Marc Rich. UN Security Council sanctions committee will send a letter to the Swiss government regarding Glencore's business, but not one committee member state does not feel Croatia has breached sanctions imposed on Iraq, UN officials, wishing to remain anonymous, told Hina. Claims were made Thursday that a Swiss company, Glencore International AG, has been erased from a list of companies allowed to do business with Iraq. UN experts who are observing exports from Iraq have accused Glencore of having brought a million of barrels of Iraqi oil to Croatia this February, and by selling the oil, caused harm to UN's "Iraqi" fund

Claims were made Thursday that a Swiss company, Glencore
International AG, has been erased from a list of companies allowed
to do business with Iraq. UN experts who are observing exports from
Iraq have accused Glencore of having brought a million of barrels of

harm to UN's "Iraqi" fund by 3.36 million euro at the European
market.
