Prime Minister Gabriel Attal announced his desire to present a new law by the summer to “strengthen the Egalim system” After various calculations and estimating that the fair purchase price per barrel was 1,550 euros, the court ordered the Cordier company to pay it 202,000 euro and Maison Ginestet 152,000 Euro.
