    BELGIUM BLACKLISTS SEVEN AFRICAN CARGO FIRMS

    Belgium cites seven African cargo companies of nine in its "black
    list" as demanded by the EU, which will not be allowed to operate in
    the country.

    They are: Africa Lines (Central African Republic) Memphis (Egypt),
    Central Air Express (DRCongo), ICTTPW (Libya), International Air
    Tour Limited (Nigeria), Johnsons' Air Ltd (Ghana), Silverback Cargo
    Freighters (Rwanda).

    Moreover, Armenia's Air Van airlines and Ukrainian South airlines
    also don't make the cut. However, the Belgian minister of transport
    said that even though "absent form the list, this does not imply a
    company necessarily meets international air safety norms," said the
    Belgian minister of transport.

    The EU will discuss this week the possibility of issuing a single
    blacklist and asked all 25 member states to hand over their lists.
