EU to shield Cuba investors from US sanctions
By EUobserver
The EU will challenge US lawsuits against European companies in Cuba if new US measures against Havana, expected Wednesday, lead to a clash, the European Commission has said. The EU "is ready to protect European interests, including European investments and the economic activities of EU individuals and entities in their relations with Cuba," a commission spokesman said. Europe opposed "extraterritorial application of unilateral restrictive measures," he added.
