Lundin Oil has also tried to get in contact with Mr. Gerhart Baum, the United Nation’s rapporteur for human rights in Sudan, in order to offer assistance in the efforts to shed light on the alleged violations of human rights in connection with the construction of a road to Lundin Oil’s exploration drilling site in southern Sudan. According to reports in the media Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh is contemplating an enquiry into Lundin Oil’s activities in Sudan. Anna Lindh referred to an enquiry in 1999 by Canadian authorities of the Canadian company Talisman’s operations in Sudan. “We welcome all initiatives to clarify the situation in Sudan. The Canadian enquiry has become an important part of the code of conduct for international oil companies operating in Sudan. We therefore welcome a similar initiative from the Swedish government,” says Adolf Lundin, chairman of the Board of Lundin Oil AB. “Recent allegations of human rights violations are in disagreement with perception of Lundin Oil’s employees working in Sudan. Since the allegations are very serious we are using every effort to investigate these events.” Lundin Oil AB is a Swedish independent oil company with exploration and production activities in eight different countries worldwide. The Company is listed on NASDAQ (symbol “LOILY”) and the Stockholm Stock Exchange (symbol “LOILB”). For further information, please contact: Maria Hamilton, Corporate Communications: + 41 22 319 66 00
