OIL: EU Oil Coordination Group to Meet Sep. 29

The European Commission will meet with member states as part of its oil coordination group on Sep. 29 to discuss ongoing risks to supply, a spokesperson told Bloomberg. * The "ad-hoc" meeting comes amid warnings over supplies of oil products, like diesel and kerosene. * Macron on Tuesday urged the European Commission to relax rules on oil products to avoid shortages, including by allowing more biofuel to be blended into diesel. * Macron said on Friday that he would convene a meeting of the G7 in the coming weeks to discuss a potential release of strategic oil product stockpiles. * A meeting of the EC's gas coordination group is taking place on Thursday.
