/IRBIS, Feb.7, 00/ - PRIME-TASS informs, with the reference to the minister
of energy of Qatar Abdalla ben Khamad al-Atya, that the countries, members
of OPEC will not make a decision on production volumes of oil until the
meeting of the ministers scheduled on March 27.
He said "making a decision based on hasty analysis of the current situation
of the market will be of nobody's interests". He believes everyone should
wait for the meeting of OPEC.
"Too high" oil prices create big concerns for some countries, and especially
for the USA. They want to take measures to increase the production, which
would reduce the prices.
