6. OBJECTIVE
Stable oil market, with reasonable prices and steady supplies to
consumers
OPEC was made to make sure that the price of the oil in the world
market will be properly controlled.
Their main goal is to prevent harmful increase in price of oil in global
market and make sure that nations that produce oil have a fair profit
7. SIDELINE OBJECTIVE
Manipulate supply of oil in the market, in hopes of
keeping prices, and profits, high by producing less
oil than the market needs.
While OPEC always wants to maximize profits for
themselves, they also don’t want to kill the golden
goose by driving prices so high that alternative
energy exploration becomes a top priority.
OPEC tracks the oil production of NON-OPEC
nations and then adjusts its own production to
maintain its desired barrel price.
8. COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS OF OPEC
Before 1970
No Major Role played by OPEC
During 1970
Power of Price setting shifted from MNC Oil Companies to OPEC
By 1973
OPEC countries changed the Pricing System
1975-1985
Oil Production Increase from 48% to 71%
Mid 1980
Survival became uncertain
Market shares fell from 52% 30% in 1985
10. OFID was established in January 1976.
All non-OPEC developing countries are, in
principle, eligible for OFID assistance.
However, the least developed and other low-
income countries are accorded priority and,
therefore, receive a larger share.
Over the years, OFID has spread its financing to
134 countries, of which 53 are in Africa, 43 in Asia,
31 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and seven in
Europe.

12. TAXES ON OIL
For example, in the UK the government in 2014 earned
about 60.1% of the price charged for every liter of pump
fuel sold to consumers. On the other hand, oil producing
countries (including OPEC) earned about 29.7% of the total
pump fuel price.
15. The European Union is a group of countries whose
governments work together.
It's like a club. To join you have to agree to follow the
rules and in return you get certain benefits.
This group of countries have to pay taxes but
they have benefits. For example, if there is a
natural disaster in one of the member countries
the others give them money or also in wars.

Its policy covers trade in goods and services but also matters such as commercial aspects of intellectual property and foreign direct investment. It has enacted trade defense and market access instruments mainly with the purpose of protecting EU businesses from obstacles to trade. Lastly, it assists developing countries to trade by means of lower duties and support programmes.
