09.09.2013 Antitrust authorities impose coal on railroads


Federal Anti-monopoly Service continues its campaign against Russian Railways (RR). The agency discovered elements of restricted competition in transportation of coal from Kuzbass by RR and big operators.

The current practice had been introduced back in 2011 following an order by President of Russia but later the Service decided that it was applied to "justify illegal measures".

RR may be fined for up to 12 bn roubles, operators—for up to 5.5 bn roubles.
