Tunisian Foreign Minister Khemaies Jhinaoui disclosed that an agreement was reached between Libya and Tunisia to return to the "clearing mechanism" for the purpose of importing Libyan oil in exchange for Tunisian goods.

During the discussion on the Tunisian Foreign Ministry's budget Thursday, Jhinaoui explained that his country has undertaken every effort to achieve peace and stability in Libya, as it will have direct and indirect effects on Tunisia.

Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Al-Shahid has announced during the Libyan-Tunisian Economic Forum held in Tunis last September, the opening of bilateral discussions on the exchange of Tunisian goods for Libyan oil.
