PARIS, March 27 (Reuters) - The industrial action
against the French government's pension reforms disrupting the
240,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Port Jerome refinery, one of the
largest in France, has been extended until March 29, the CGT
union said in a tweet.
A spokesperson for operator Esso, ExxonMobil's French unit, said Friday the company had been forced to halt
production at the refinery due to the impact the strikes had had
on delivering crude from the Le Havre terminal.
