The Ninth Commercial Court of Appeals validated the Federal Antimonopoly Service’s decision and order regarding Russian Railways and dismissed its appeal. Earlier, the watchdog’s commission found the railway monopoly had violated the law On the Protection of Competition. West Siberian Railway, a subsidiary of Russian Railways, published a telegram prohibiting the loading of any goods in gondola cars apart from coal for housing and utilities and energy companies. The commission ordered Russian Railways to stop violating the antimonopoly legislation. In particular, the company must prepare and submit to the organizations involved clarifications on the inadmissibility of imposing bans and restrictions on the rail transport of goods on grounds not stipulated by the current legislation.

The company did not agree with the service’s decision and order and appealed against them in the courts. The service reported that the Moscow Commercial Court and the Ninth Commercial Court of Appeals validated the decision and the order regarding the railway company in full.
