OPEC Cartel
5 Answers
Hello. Can anybody please explain to me how OPEC operates legally as a cartel? My understanding is perhaps poor, but I thought that cartels were illegal. Is it simply because nothing can be done? Or perhaps that as the group encompasses many different countries, no legislation covers is?
Any advice on this greatly appreciated!!

So where it may be true that business cartels which promote restrictive practices would be 'illegal' under British and EU Law (and similarly would breach US anti-trust legislation) etc. OPEC is a group of countries, each of which formulates its own law.
