Garland said the refining assets are not core to the company's business plans.Phillips plans to retain stakes in the refineries it owns in the United Kingdom and Central Europe, Garland said at a luncheon."We don't envision growing in the Asian refining space," Garland said, adding that Phillips plants in the UK and Germany remain core to the U.S.-based company's operations.
