Our source has exclusively obtained a letter from Masoud Suleiman, the Acting Head of the National Oil Corporation, addressed to the companies and entities under the institution regarding regulations for dispatching their employees on external assignments.
The letter stipulates that the assignment must be directly related to an ongoing project, supply contract, or service provision such as inspection or training specified in the contract. It also requires the submission of a detailed report on the training program to the General Administration of Training at the National Oil Corporation.
The mission should be limited to no more than five days, with the head having the authority to extend it for one additional day only. Any extension beyond that requires approval from the National Oil Corporation. Furthermore, if the purpose of the mission is to obtain a visa, it should only be done if the mission is directly linked to necessary work in a country with no embassy in Libya, with the total mission duration not exceeding three days.
The letter also emphasizes that the dispatching of employees must comply with the approved travel and accommodation regulations, be within the allocated budget, and avoid unnecessary spending. Additionally, representatives from the National Oil Corporation should be included in external missions related to its departments, while ensuring that dispatching employees for foreign assignments is kept to a minimum and within the necessary limits.
Suleiman also requested that a quarterly report be submitted to the internal audit department of the National Oil Corporation and the company’s monitoring committee, detailing the number and names of dispatched employees, the purpose of the assignment, the allowances granted, and the related costs, all within the approved budget for external missions.
