oil company Petrobras is in favor of dialogue first,
then a fight if necessary on a recent tax imposed on crude
exports from the South American country, the company's Chief
Executive Officer Jean Paul Prates said on Wednesday.
The government announced this week it will tax crude oil
exports for four months to compensate for its decision to
partially maintain a tax exemption on fuels.
"I think that by dialoguing for the better solution, we
might not have to fight," Prates told journalists at the
CERAWeek energy conference in Houston.
