--FILE--A Chinese driver refuels his car at a gas station in Jiujiang city, east China's Jiangxi province, 4 August 2015. China plans further reforms of its retail fuel pricing system, the country's central economic planning commission said on Tuesday (15 December 2015), part of efforts to make prices more market-driven. The world's second-largest oil consumer has taken big steps this year in reforming the oil and gas sector. For the first time, China has allowed independent companies to import crude oil and export refined fuel, breaking the long dominance by state refiners Sinopec Corp and PetroChina. The National Development and Reform Commission will "postpone" an adjustment of retail gasoline and diesel prices that was expected on Tuesday, it said in a statement on its website. Instead, it plans to speed up improving the fuel pricing system under the "new environment" of lower oil prices.
