Libya Calls for Higher Oil Quota in OPEC
http://www.foxbusiness.com/news/2013/04/22/libya-says-wants-higher-oil-quota-in-opec/#ixzz2RJgEW9fN

Libya will seek to increase its oil output quota in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Oil Minister Abdelbari al-Arusi said on Monday.

OPEC dropped individual allocations in 2011 when it adopted a 30-million-bpd output target. But with production rising in Libya and Iraq the issue of quotas may need to be addressed at some stage.

Libya’s last output target, under a 2008 deal where quotas were not issued publicly, was 1.47 million bpd. Al-Arusi said that current Libyan oil production stood at around 1.5 million barrels per day.
