OREANDA-NEWS. November 18, 2013. The Commission of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) terminated a case against “Russko-Polyansky Elevator” OJSC due to absence of antimonopoly violations in its actions.

The case was initiated upon a petition of an individual entrepreneur – the head of a private farm Armais Bozoyan. In his opinion, “Russko-Polyansky Elevator” OJSC fixes monopolistically high prices for shipment of grain purchased from the state intervention fund, and unreasonably refuses to provide services for grain shipment in the Omsk region.

Having analyzed the costs calculation for “Russko-Polyansky Elevator” OJSC, that has the dominant position on the market of services for storage and shipment of grain purchased from the state intervention fund, the FAS Commission concluded that the shipment rates did not exceed that sum of the costs necessary to render the service and profit and was not monopolistically high.

The FAS Commission also did not establish the act of “Russko-Polyansky Elevator” OJSC refusing to ship grain to consumers: the elevator shipped grain in accordance with technical possibilities.

As a result, the FAS Commission terminated the case.

“FAS, however, is investigating cases against “Agroservice Region” Ltd. (Ivanonvka village, Kalachinsky District, the Omsk region) and “Sibirsky Kolos” Ltd. (Omsk)”, said the Head of FAS Department for Control over Chemical Industry and the Agro-Industrial Complex, Anna Mirochinenko.
