The companies violated article 76 of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union on general competition rules.
The Eurasian Economic Commission received statements from the Association of Copyright Holders, Licensors and Licensees for the Protection of Copyright on the Internet (AZAPI) about signs of violation of antitrust legislation in the actions of Yandex and <url>.
According to the statements, these companies, abusing their dominant position, violated article 76 of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union on general competition rules.
Currently, the antimonopoly unit of the Commission is considering the development of draft proposals for actions aimed at eliminating signs of violation of the general rules of competition and implementing measures that will resolve the dispute and contribute to the restoration of competition in the relevant markets on mutually beneficial terms without conducting investigations and imposing fines.
The press service of Yandex said that there are no grounds for the claims. "As we have repeatedly said, search engines should not know or determine the legal status of content posted by third parties on links," the company explained.
The issue of relations with AZAPI obviously lies outside the plane of antimonopoly regulation, so such an appeal seems strange to us, " the representative said. Mail.ru Group Sergey Luchin.
In August last year, the Association for the Protection of Copyright on the Internet (AZAPI), representing the largest Russian book publishers, complained to the European Commission about Google because it does not remove applications with pirated books from GooglePlay. Legal services are forced to compete with pirated resources.
AZAPI asks the European Commission to hold Google accountable: the company does not remove from the GooglePlay store large applications that are popular with the Russian-speaking population in Europe and at the same time allow "massive copyright violations" on e-books. Among them, AZAPI pointed out Ok.ru, Mail.ru, Telegram, YouTube, and wattpad.
