Frankrike vil avvente bruk av oljereservene

Frankrike venter på en lagerrapport fra Det internasjonale energibyrået (IEA) før det eventuelt tar en beslutning om å støtte uttak av olje fra strategiske lagre.

Det sier Frankrikes budsjettminister Valerie Pecresse, melder Bloomberg News onsdag.

- Frankrike deltar sammen med USA og Storbritannia i konsultasjoner med IEA, som kan resultere i uttak fra strategiske oljereserver for å bryte den stigende prisspiralen, sier hun.

Amerikanske myndigheter har foreslått Frankrikes deltagelse i en frigivelse av oljereserver og Frankrike har ”ønsket forslaget velkomment”, ifølge Frankrikes industriminister Eric Besson.

IEA koordinerte frigivelse av 60 millioner fat råolje og oljeprodukter i juni i fjor etter at produksjonen fra Libya ble rammet i forbindelse med opprøret.
