OREANDA-NEWS. February 07, 2011. Moscow Arbitration Court accepted “FGC UES” OJSC withdrawing its claim, and the Court terminated the proceedings on the case “FGC UES” OJSC vs. the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia), reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

As the contract is concluded, FAS Russia closed the antimonopoly case, classifying such actions as voluntary elimination of the antimonopoly violations.
