France has appealed to oil-producing states to increase its production against the backdrop of continuing price increases, French media reported, Interfax reports.
«We need producing countries to produce more on an exceptional basis», the Le Parisien newspaper quoted on Monday from a statement by the French administration made «on the sidelines» of the G7 meeting in Germany.
