Fines are imposed for infringing the interests of small companies

The decisions on abusing dominance were made after investigating several cases upon statements of small companies in the Republic of Ingushetia with regard to unlawful actions of “Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Pyatigorsk” Ltd. Inspecting gas equipment of the applicants, the gas supplier drew up inspection acts for gas metering units that were contrary to the reality. As a result, consumers accrued considerable debt.

Having investigated cases Ingushia OFAS imposed five fines for over 140 million RUB upon Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Pyatigorsk” Ltd. based on the earlier decisions.

“The sum of the fines is considerable since abusing dominance is punished by turnover fines. It is primarily related to the fact that natural monopolies, due to their market position, can adversely affect the state of competition, as in this case”, pointed out Head of Ingushia OFAS Batyr Tochiev.
