Listen to the President - If not, You're a Monopolist

the below statement is rather interesting and worrisome as it shows that the AMCU is becoming a political instrument rather than a guarantor of a level playing field.


""Following a directive by the President of Ukraine concerning ensuring stability of prices and tariffs at the socially significant markets, the Antimonopoly Committee proposed that Kyivstar abandon raising of tariffs for its services, report to the Committee about this done, and inform the publicity," the statement quotes Committee acting chairman Oleksandr Melnychenko as saying.

He stressed, if the operator raised the tariffs the Committee would consider these acts violation of competition laws."
