Libya visa blacklist scrapped: Spanish ministry

Spain's Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday it regretted that some Libyans had been blacklisted for travel to the Schengen passport-free zone and said the blacklist had now been scrapped, Reuters reported.

"All the names of the Libyan citizens included in the list of the Schengen information system have been removed," the ministry said in a statement.

The visa row has unsettled European countries with substantial business ties to oil exporter Libya, especially its near-neighbors Italy and Malta.
