On January 16, 2009 the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) and "EuroChem" Mineral and Chemical Company" OJSC, that functions as the sole executive body of "Kovdorsky Mining-and-Processing Integrated Works" OJSC, agreed the rules on non-discriminatory access to apatite concentrate produced by "Kovdorsky Mining-and-Processing Integrated Works" OJSC, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

"Kovdorsky Mining-and-Processing Integrated Works" OJSC will be selling no less than 200000 tons of apatite concentrate per year in accordance with the rules for external counteragents, not affiliated with the group of "EuroChem" Mineral and Chemical Company" OJSC.
