Iranian Oil Minister Gholam Hossein Nozari said Monday that Opec was oversupplying the market as he arrived for a meeting of the cartel here. "Of course there is an oversupply," he told reporters. Iran has backed calls for greater compliance with Opec production targets as a way of reducing output from the 13-member group. At present, Opec is believed to be producing about one million barrels more than its quota of 29,67-million barrels per day (bpd), with Saudi Arabia providing most of the extra oil. "We will review the market and then decide," said Nozari when asked about whether an official production cut would be approved at a Tuesday policy meeting of the the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Analysts think the group will opt for greater quota compliance instead of an outright production cut. This would remove oil from the market but not amount to a potentially unpopular policy change. Oil prices have fallen sharply from highs near $150 a barrel in July to slightly above 100 dollars. - AFP  CONTINUES BELOW TOPICS IN THIS ARTICLE
