July2 (Bloomberg) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she wants the Group of Eight leading industrial nations to raise pressure on developing economies such as China and India to cut their oil consumption in a bid to ease surging energy prices.
Merkel plans to urge G-8 leaders meeting in Japan next week to agree on ``keypoints'' for reducing oil consumption by developing nations, she said today in an interview with N24 television. Proposed measures include adding pressure to reduce subsidies and improve energy efficiency, she said.
Oil consumption is ``unnecessarily subsidized'' in the developing world, Merkel said, adding that G-8 states also need to address global consumption. ``How much output is possible? Do we need to help producers with investment or plant? Do we have enough refineries?''she said.
Summits of oil consumers and producers in Saudi Arabia and Madrid last month underscored differences over the causes of and cures for oil prices that have risen 48 percent this year.Concern Iran's nuclear program may prompt an Israeli attack,disrupting Gulf oil supplies, helped send oil to a record $143.67 on June 30.
In Jeddah on June 22, U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown[/url]proposed a``new deal'' with producing nations, offering them investment opportunities in the West in return for greater access to untapped reserves.
Two days before the meeting in Jeddah, China, the world's second-biggest energy consumer, sought to curb oil consumption by raising gasoline and diesel prices by 17 percent and increasing the costs of electricity.
China and India are ``simply not doing enough to promote more efficient use of oil,'' Claudia Kemfert, chief energy analyst at the Berlin-based DIW economic institute, said in an interview on June 22. ``Subsidies have to be slashed to curb consumption -- we have to get China and India on board.''

德国总理默克尔本周三在接受N24电视台采访时表示,她希望八国集团(G8)对发展中大国如中国和印度等施加越来越大的压力,要求它们减少石油消费以缓解国际石油供求紧张的局面。默克尔说,她将在下周出席八国集团首脑会议时正式提出上述建议。
默克尔接受采访时表示,如何确保国际油价稳定将成为这次八国集团首脑会议的一个重要议题。她说,发展中国减少石油消费是缓解国际原油供求紧张的关键。
目前,发达国家对原油的需求已经基本上趋于稳定,而中国和印度这样的发展中大国对石油的需求却在迅猛增长。
默克尔说,发展中国家普遍采取石油消费补贴政策,导致国内油价远远低于国际水平。价格扭曲是导致发展中国家石油消费需求迅猛增长的重要原因之一。
自今年年初以来,国际油价已经累计上涨了48%。上个月,石油输出国组织未能就增加石油产量维持价格稳定达成一致,石油生产出口大国沙特阿拉伯拒绝增加产量。
此外,由于担心伊朗核问题最终会引发地区不稳,最近两周国际油价再度出现大幅上涨。6月30日,纽约商品交易所7月份交割的轻质低硫原油价格一度飙升至143.67美元/桶,再度创出历史新高
