FRENCH oil major Total said on Saturday that management had ordered the halting of the La Mede refinery in south-east France after a union launched a strike against plans to stop crude processing at the plant.
Total intends to halt crude oil processing at its 153,000 barrels-per-day La Mede site near Marseille by the end of 2016 as demand for petroleum products declines in Europe.
