Libya, like any country, wants to increase revenue in the short term (there is a lot of war damage to repair, and people need to be paid better than under Gadaffi), but are well aware of the fact that they need to diversify from just oil revenue, in the long term.

Edit
"Libya had investment and technical capability when MG was in power, he just took the lions share for Libya and not the multinational oil corporations and we know that's not allowed, now do we."

What a load of unsupported garbage. The oil revenue will be going to Libyans now - not Gaddafi and not the multinationals. If you have any valid data to support your lying hype, then please provide it.

I also find you "now do we" very condescending, particularly as it it based on non-fact.
