Can someone please explain why all the Oil Producers sitting around a table agreeing to cut back production to raise prices is not a cartel.?

Update:

Surely it would be considered an anti-competitive collusion?

    It is a cartel. The whole point of it is anti-competitive collusion to maintain oil prices.

    But there is no enforceable law against sovereign countries colluding with each other.
