The Russian company “Gazprom” has filed an appeal against the decision of the Kiev economic court of appeal on enforcement proceedings from the company of a fine in the amount of 85,9 billion and penalties of similar size.
This was stated by the head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine Yuriy Terentyev, reports LIGA.net.
“It was the decision of the appellate court. Gazprom appealed against the decision in cassation,” – said Terentyev.
According to him, the AMC will immediately transfer to the Executive service of an enforceable court decision.
The Antimonopoly Committee in January 2016 imposed on Gazprom the penalty at a rate of 85 billion 965 million 927 thousand UAH, because the Russian company abused a monopoly position in the market of transit of natural gas through main pipelines in the territory of Ukraine. To pay its Gazprom did not want to. AMC filed a lawsuit. Meanwhile, began to grow on the unpaid penalty Gazprom penalty, which eventually grown to the same amount as the fine (above the amount of the penalty, the penalty can not be). So, in essence, the penalty was doubled to nearly 172 billion. Forced to pay this amount, and also to stop violations of “Gazprom” requires the court.
Earlier in the ACU told how to recover from the Russian “Gazprom” 172 billion hryvnias of penalties, if he doesn’t want to pay.
