OREANDA-NEWS. March 27, 2014. Moscow Arbitration Court pronounced legitimacy of the decision of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) that the Federal Railway Transport Agency violated the antimonopoly law and a determination aimed at eliminating the exposed violations.

The Federal Railway Transport Agency unreasonably prevented operations of an economic entity. In particular, the Federal Railway Transport Agency set non-statutory requirements for opening on a continuous basis a station on Moscow Railway – a branch of “Russian Railways” OJSC to operate on private railway tracks. The economic entity is a major supplier of liquefied hydrocarbon gas in the Tula region, and is a wholesale supplier of liquefied hydrocarbon gas in the Kursk, Orlov, Voronezh, Kaluga and Moscow regions.

FAS found that the Federal Railway Transport Agency violated Clause 2 Part 1 Article 15 of the Federal Law “On Protection of Competition”.
