KRASNOYARSK, Russia (Reuters) – Russian Deputy Energy Minister Anatoly Yanovsky said on Saturday that all agreements between world oil powers on freezing crude production are voluntary and that he couldn’t imagine a mechanism for controlling the production freeze.
Yanovsky also said at an economic conference in Krasnoyarsk that Russia granting a loan to Iran did not depend on the talks on freezing production and that an anti-monopoly case in Europe against state gas giant Gazprom (GAZP.MM) was politicised.
