refinery leading to a fuel shortage in

.

Workers walked off the job at the refinery last Tuesday, protesting Total's
postponement until June of a decision whether to permanently shut down the
facility. Total idled the refinery in September and plans to reduce global
refining capacity by 20%, citing weak margins.
Fears of a gasoline shortage began to mount in
France
over
the weekend, but de Margerie noted that Total is "not the only
supplier," adding that "we'll find a solution to avoid this."
He said "fears of consumers" shouldn't be used to "put
pressure" on either party to resolve the situation at
Dunkirk
