OREANDA-NEWS. March 20, 2012. The Moscow Arbitration Court confirmed legitimacy of the order of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) to fine “Belarus Food Company” Ltd. over 12 million Rubles 12 for taking part in an anticompetitive agreement, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

On 20th January 2011, the FAS Commission exposed several agreements between “Mozyrsalt” OJSC, “BPK” Ltd., “TDS” CJSC and “Evrotrust Expo” Ltd. about conditions for selling salt produced by “Mozyrsalt” OJSC in Moscow and the Moscow region. It was in breach of Clause 3 Part 1 Article 11 of the Federal Law “On Protection of Competition”.

The company challenged the order of the antimonopoly authority and filed a lawsuit. The Court, however, supported the position of the FAS Commission and the order came into force.
