OREANDA-NEWS. June 10, 2013. The Presidium of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) approved the draft Guidelines for the procedures and methods of analyzing the agreements on joint operations for the purposes of applying the antimonopoly law.

The draft Guidelines are devised by FAS jointly with “Promoting Competition” Non-Commercial Partnership.

Experts are invited to sent comments and proposals with regards to the Guidelines to FAS.

Note:
Currently the Guidelines refer to Article 27 of No.135-FZ Federal Law “On Protection of Competition” of 26th July 2006; however, the relevant amendment5s to the Law are only in preparation. In this part, the Guidelines will come into force only when amendments are introduced to Article 27 of No.135-FZ Federal Law “On Protection of Competition” of 26th July 2006 on the requirement to obtain pre-approvals from the antimonopoly body for agreements on joint operations (if the relevant thresholds for the total balance asset value are reached).
