“This Monday morning, one station in two passed on the drop” in fuel prices after the destocking of strategic reserves decided by the government and which came into force on Sunday November 1, reports government spokesperson Maud Bregeon, guest of franceinfo on Monday. The number of stations “will increase in the hours and days to come,” she continues. Also read Small service stations "have not received strategic fuel stocks and cannot lower prices", warns Francis Pousse, of the Mobilians network. "The objective remains a reduction of 18 cents" per litre, recalls Maud Bregeon regarding the extent of the reduction.
“We will be between 12 and 18 cents”, according to the spokesperson, who promises that “the objective will be met”. “It will last at least three months,” she specifies. “We decided to sell 10 million barrels to distributors at a price significantly lower than the market price,” “three to four times lower than the market price,” she says.
Distributors have the “obligation to pass on this reduction”, recalls the Minister Delegate in charge of Energy.
