Head of FBK Legal's Corporate Practice, Alexander Ermolenko, on RF antimonopoly law

Head of FBK Legal’s Corporate Practice Alexander Ermolenko  in his interview to RBK TV commented upon application of antimonopoly law in Russia. On the whole, all experts prize Russian antimonopoly law rather highly as well as work of Federal Antimonopoly Service for preventing gross violations. However court decisions completely depend on standards of evidence. “Unfortunately, if we hold litigation against the Central Bank, against the Federal Tax Service, same as against the Federal Antimonopoly Service, we can’t speak about pressure; however proof presumption is shifted onto the market entity, the entrepreneur — he has to substantiate his position much better than Federal Antimonopoly Service does,” the expert clarified in his interview to the TV channel.
