About 30% of French Filling Stations Short of Fuel

OIL PRODUCTS

About 30% of filling stations in France were short of at least one fuel on Sunday, according to French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne – that compares with 27% on Saturday.

  • Fuel flows from depots and imports will ease the situation this week, she said.
  • Strikers from the CGT union at some of TotalEnergies’ refineries plan to extend their walkout at least through Tuesday.
  • “I ask workers to respect the majority deal and not block the country, with all the difficulties that this creates for the French people,” Borne said. “Companies must also take their responsibilities.”
  • The French government is set to extend to mid-November a rebate of 30 euro cents per liter of fuel that was set to expire at the end of this month. TotalEnergies will extend its rebate for the same time period, she said.
