The JMMC was created in order to control the implementation of the deal. It includes ministers of three OPEC member states — Venezuela, Kuwait and Algeria — and two countries that not part of the cartel, namely Russia and Oman. The JMMC meets every two months. The implementation of the agreement is also monitored by the JTC, comprising experts from the countries represented in the JMMC.
