Rules igry24-12-2007 Electricity prices will govern the state is prescribed by FAS, approved by the Ministry of Justice. From today, come into force new rules for manufacturers and suppliers of electricity. The worst offenders waiting for a penalty of up to four percent of the annual revenue of the company or state regulation of prices. At such extreme measures Antimonopolschiki go from hopelessness.
