Official sees chances for Google to reach settlement agreement with Russian watchdog
It was announced earlier that the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service will fine Google if the company delays compliance with its directives
MOSCOW, September 26. /TASS/. Google still has a chance to reach a settlement agreement with the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) but only after fulfillment of the directive and compensation of damage, Deputy Head of the regulator Anatoly Golomolzin told TASS on Monday.
"A chance exists at any stage of legal proceedings. We conclude settlement agreements only if a company complied with directives and compensated inflicted damage; I am not aware of such intentions of Google so far," the official said responding to the question concerning the potential settlement agreement.
The Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) will fine Google if the company delays compliance with its directives, Head of FAS Igor Artemyev told journalists last Wednesday. Earlier the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) said it would fine Google for failure to comply with the directive to eliminate violations of the antimonopoly legislation in due time.
