FAS representatives explained the forth antimonopoly package at an event in Kaluga

Alexei Kryukov reminded that the “forth antimonopoly package” comes into effect on 5 January 2016. “One of the provisions of the Law assigns the powers to review decisions and determinations, issued by the Antimonopoly Service, to the collegial bodies of the Central FAS Office. Together with the Non-Profit Partnership for Competition Support we devised the procedure describing the main requirements to complaints, the deadlines for complaint consideration, the rights and responsibilities of claimants and respondents”, said Alexei Kryukov.

After the “Register of monopolists” is abolished, the antimonopoly body will analyze the market investigating every case on abusing market dominance. “To this purpose. No.220 Order was actualized after public hearing. It came into force on 15 March 2015 “, stated Deputy Head of FAS Legal Department.

Summing up the workshop, Alexei Kryukov discussed a new Chapter of the Law “On Protection of Competition” that focuses on unfair competition, taking into account the established judicial practice of FAS and experience of foreign antimonopoly bodies.
