Not according to his sources in Dubai OPEC Calls 'Emergency Meeting' To Discuss Oil Production Levels January 17, 1998 DUBAI -- The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has set a preliminary Jan. 26 date for an emergency meeting of the Ministerial Monitoring Committee, composed of the oil ministers of Iran, Kuwait and Nigeria, a Kuwaiti oil source said Saturday. Iranian officials wouldn't officially comment about a meeting or oil prices' current level, but a source with close ties to the Oil Ministry hinted that the minister might be planning a trip to Vienna soon. Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh chairs the committee. A spokesman for Nigeria's Oil Ministry said Friday that Nigerian Oil Minister Dan Etete would attend an MMC meeting in Vienna "by the end of the month." It remained unclear Saturday whether the eight OPEC ministers not on the MMC would attend the Vienna meeting. An Iraqi oil official said Saturday that his country hasn't officially been informed about an OPEC meeting this month. "OPEC hasn't informed us via official channels," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. A spokesman at the Qatari oil minister's office said that, to his knowledge, the minister hasn't received any sort of invitation to a January OPEC meeting and that Energy and Industry Minister Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah has no immediate plans to go to Vienna.
