Argentina threatens companies pursuing legitimate trade in Falklands with prison

Argentina triggered a fresh diplomatic row this week over the disputed Falkland Islands after the country's Congress passed a law that establishes criminal sanctions for the "illegal exploration" of hydrocarbons in the Falkland Islands waters.
This is yet another attempt at intimidation.
You can normally link it to bad news in the Argentinian economy - it works along this line:

I am pleased to say that I am due to go to the Falklands for four days in late January as part of a cross party delegation [2 government, 2 opposition MPs] invited by the Falkland Islands Government. I am much looking forward to the trip and to be able to support what the islanders are doing.
