    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 10, NOYAN TAPAN. At the December 10 sitting, the RA
    State Commission for Protection of Economic Competition made a decision
    to impose a fine of 500 thousand drams (about 1,628.6 USD) on South
    Caucasus Railways company. It was mentioned that the Commission had
    initiated proceedings and the company had been required to present
    some information.

    The company presented information to the Commission. However,
    that information did not include any data on the cost price of
    transportation of a unit of cargo, the price of transportation of a
    ton of cargo, the profit and profitability. In addition to imposing a
    fine, the Commission decided during the sitting that the requirement
    to present information remains in force.

    By another decision of the Commission, a fine of 500 thousand drams
    was imposed on Geghard Meat Product Enterprise for not presenting
    the required information at the stated time and for presenting
    untrustworthy data.

    In July 2008, the Commission initiated administrative proceedings
    against Geghard Meat Product Enterprise for raising the prices of
    several foodstuffs. The company was required to submit the documents
    necessary for the proceedings and other information to the Commission
    within 10 days.

    However, the enterprise did not present any reasons and substantiation
    for the changes in each component of the price, as well as any
    documents substantiating these changes within the indicated period. At
    the request of the company, the period of proceedings was twice
    extended for 10 days.

    During this period the company provided some general explanations,
    not presenting any substantiating documents, thus not providing the
    necessary information. Besides, the data submitted by the company at
    two stages contradicted each other: they contained different amounts
    of the same expenditure and the profit received at the same period
    of time, as well as changed data on raw materials used.

    In the opinion of the Commission, the company presented incomplete
    information, while the presented data were contradictory and did not
    reflect the amounts of expenses representing an element of the cost
    price, therefore, the company presented untrustworthy information to
    the Commission.
