LONDON, Feb 18 (KUNA) -- British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Monday
that he wanted to see a greater supply of oil and a better match between
supply and demand.
In answer to a question during his regular monthly press conference in
Downing Street, the Prime Minister said this match would make it possible for
oil prices to come down.
Meanwhile, he praised the cooperation between Britain and the GCC states,
saying "We work very closely with them".
In addition, Brown said one of the worrying financial problems in the world
today is the higher oil prices.
