OREANDA-NEWS. December 11, 2007. On 28th January 2007, the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) will consider a case against "RZhD" OJSC for breaching Part 1 Article 10 of the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition", reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

Earlier on, FAS Russia postponed the consideration of the case as it needed to obtain additional evidence and bring into the proceedings as related parties 18 insurance companies, operating on the market of passenger insurance: "Konda"CJSC, "BSO" CJSC, "Radonezh" Ltd., "Energogarant" Insurance Shareholding Company, "Ingosstrakh" OJSC, "Planeta Fond" Ltd., "GUTA-Strakhovanie" CJSC, "Railway Insurance Foundation" Insurance Company" CJSC, "Magistral" ZhASO CJSC, "Test-ZhASO" OJSC, "ZhASKO" OJSC, North-Caucasus ZhASO "Liter-Polis" Insurance Company, "Time-Reserve" Insurance Company CJSC, "Skif-Inkom" Insurance Company CJSC, "Resonance" BIC, "Afes" Insurance Company OJSC, "ZAPSIBZhASO" CJSC and "DAL'ZhASO" OJSC.

The case was initiated upon petitions of physical persons who complained that "RZhD" OJSC attempted to press the "ZhASKO" OJSC policy on the passengers.

"RZhD" OJSC imposes the "ZhASKO" OJSC policy on the passengers as they are sold through the cashiers of "RZhD" OJSC that register the policy of insurance simultaneously with the travel documents (tickets) on the terminals of the "Express" ACS (Automated Control System).
