Murphy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The letter recalls that European legislation &#8220;allows companies sued in the United States to recover all damages through legal proceedings against U.S. plaintiffs&#8221; and &#8220;those damages can be recovered through the confiscation of European property from U.S. plaintiffs, persons who represent them or intermediaries, including the shares they may have in European companies.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of this Friday, only four lawsuits under the Helms-Burton Act have been filed in U.S. courts, three in Miami and one in Washington.

If the lawsuit is won, Exxon Mobil is a conglomerate with the largest number of properties in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The European warning to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is not new. In fact, it was one of the compelling reasons that led Europeans to convince the White House to suspend the application of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act for more than 20 years, following the promulgation of the law by President Bill Clinton in 1996.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The Europeans were always very clear <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba-ee-uu\/espana-preve-pleitos-con-eeuu-por-la-aplicacion-del-titulo-iii-de-la-helms-burton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">about their displeasure<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the law.
