OREANDA-NEWS. October 28, 2011. Kemerovo Regional Arbitration Court pronounced legitimacy and reasonableness of the decision and determination issued by the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service in the Kemerovo Region (Kemerovo OFAS Russia) regarding “Russian Railways” OJSC, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

In July 2011, Kemerovo OFAS Russia found that “Russian Railways” OJSC violated Clause 5 Part 1 Article 10 of the Federal Law “On Protection of Competition”. “Russian Railways” OJSC unreasonably refused to conclude a contract for providing services for technological connection (changing the point of connection) of a residential house to the mains that resulted in infringing citizen’s interests.

Kemerovo OFAS Russia issued a determination to “Russian Railways” OJSC requesting to conclude a contract with the applicant for technological connection to the mains within a monthly period and provide technological connection of the residential house to the mains of “Russian Railways” OJSC within the period specified by the law of the Russian Federation.

“Such decisions of the antimonopoly body together with judicial acts restore citizens’ rights infringed by actions of economic entities that have dominant position”, commented the Head of Kemerovo OFAS Russia. Ms. Natalia Kukharskaya.
