It’s been over a month, but thankfully things are starting to get better. Indeed, after several weeks of strike action, TotalEnergies and Esso-ExxonMobil workers have begun to return to work, while an agreement appears to have been reached between management and CGT at the start of the strike. However, the two facilities continue to operate, and some departments are still suffering from fuel shortages. This is especially true in Val d’Oise, Paris and even Yonne, where more than 20% of stations are still completely missing. Fortunately, steps have been taken to improve the situation.

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

Exceptional permission

Usually trucks are not allowed go on weekends and public holidays. But in the current situation, the government has given permission to transport companies to continue the movement of heavy-duty vehicles carrying hydrocarbons. Therefore, they will be able to drive on the roads of France on October 31, November 1 and 2. to allow supply between oil depots, as well as from oil depots to distribution points and final consumers“. They can too return empty on their deposit. Thanks to this measure, deliveries will be more regular, and this will reduce the risk of being in front of a completely empty service station.

Until back to normal

While most departments are doing much better, some are still under a lot of pressure. Nevertheless, according to Olivier Gantois, president of the French Union of the Petroleum Industry (Ufip), “the specific tension will disappear within a few days. The improvement will be visible by this weekend.” Now let’s hope that everything will be fixed quickly, as promised by the government return to normal several weeks now without much result…

The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.

Therefore, the Government continues the discount of 30 centimes/l at gas stations until mid-November.@TotalEnergies also extends its discount of 20 centimes/l for the same period. pic.twitter.com/u7EdYWGliB
