"To me, much and possibly everything speaks against a possible excessive profit tax when I think about it closely," minister Christian Lindner of the liberal Free Democrats (FDP) told public broadcaster ZDF.

Venezuela has suspended new crude shipments to Europe under an oil-for-debt deal and has asked Italy's Eni and Spain's Repsol to provide it with fuel in exchange for future cargoes, three people familiar with the matter said.

Washington authorized the shipments as long as cargo proceeds were used to pay off accumulated debt PDVSA owed to joint ventures with Eni and Repsol.
