                    [Summary] => Energy Secretary Vincent S. Perez welcomed yesterday recent decision of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to pump an additional one million barrels of crude oil per day (b/d). 


"The increase in production volume is a welcome relief for us. This could eventually bring world prices back to a more comfortable level," Perez said.

In a meeting last Wednesday in Vienna, OPEC agreed to raise to 27 million b/d the production level beginning November this year to stem rising prices.
