PARIS, Oct 14 (Reuters) - The French government does not
plan to issue more back-to-work orders at this stage amid
strikes affecting refineries and storage sites, French Energy
Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher said on Friday, adding that the
ongoing labour disputes now needed to be solved as fast as
possible.
    One in three petrol stations in the country is struggling
with supplies as a result of strikes which have been dragging
one several weeks.
    The French government have launched requisition proceedings
at two petrol depots this week to get supply flowing again.
