Still, with opposition from several producers, it’s not clear whether the group will reach a consensus when it meets in Vienna next month.
Toward its goal of reworking its energy laws, the government of Algeria has hired US law �rm, Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP and other consultancies to help draft the legislation.
