French President Macron said that G7 leaders met to address the global energy situation.

In a statement on his social media account, Macron said the leaders had decided to work in a coordinated manner, adding that these efforts would contribute to lowering the prices of petroleum products, especially diesel.

As part of the decisions taken, it was agreed to make production more flexible in order to bring refineries to maximum capacity, to release up to 100 million barrels of strategic reserves within 4 months together with partners under the coordination of the International Energy Agency, and not to take any measures that would restrict trade in energy and petroleum products among partner countries.

Macron also included the G7 statement in his announcement.
