Q(1)… Summarise the information provided in this report for your region.
A(1)…
The Report comments about Refinery closures/capacity reductions within Europe.

* In July, ConocoPhillips cancelled plans to upgrade its 260,000-b/d refinery at Wilhelmshaven, Germany. * Switzerland in October, Petroplus Holdings AG, Zug, began to shut down of its 60,000-b/d Cressier refinery in Neuchatel. The company attributed the action to the labour strike at the port of Fos Sur Mer, France, which it said was disrupting the supply of crude to the Cressier refinery. Reopening the plant would depend on market conditions following the end of the strike, said the company. * In Europe in August, Royal Dutch Shell PLC agreed to sell its 90,000-b/d Heide refinery in Germany to family investment firm Klesch & Co. October, Shell announced plans to sell a majority of its refining and marketing businesses in Finland and Sweden to Finnish company Keele Oy.
