Lithuanian Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) on Thursday ruled to impose the largest fine in the history of Lithuania, obliging Russian gas concern Gazprom to pay a EUR 35.651 million fine to Lithuania for Gazprom`s refusal to sign off the gas exchange deal with Lietuvos Energija Gamyba (LEG), according to BNS media outlet.
Thus, the court upheld the Competition Board`s decision of October 2014, BNS reports.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the regional administrative court of Vilnius upheld a decision of a lower instance court, imposing a EUR 35.7 bln fine on Gazprom for restricting competition in the Lithuanian market.
The initial fine was introduced in June 2014 for Gazprom`s refusal to discuss with Lithuania`s Lietuvis Energija a virtual gas exchange.
