“Veolia Water” company issued a statement regarding the allegation of abuse of dominant position.
It is said in the statement.
“Veolia Water, as a branch of the Veolia Group with 160 years of experience, implements a clear policy in order to ensure the quality of services provided to its customers and high safety standards and procurement rules, establishing contractual relations with such reliable and established companies that can demonstrate the required experience in the relevant fields and provide convincing evidence of a rich history of activity.
“Veolia Water” CJSC, which is part of the world’s leading operator, is expected to use international best practices as widely as possible and provide existing technologies. Due to this, the company aims to use the highest class products and modern technologies in its activities for the benefit of the country and its customers.
“Veolia Water” company has assumed the highest responsibility towards its subscribers and that is why it will never make concessions in matters related to the safety of water supply and drainage services and water quality assurance in the Republic of Armenia.
The decision of the RA State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition, according to which “Veolia Water” company “abuses its dominant position”, is a surprise for us. The accusation against “Veolia Water” company is false and unfounded.
“Veolia Water” company is always guided by the requirements of RA laws in its activities. The company regrets that the given decision was made by the RA State Technical University without the presence of the company or any of its management.
“Veolia Water” company will appeal this decision, taking advantage of all opportunities provided by the legislation of the Republic of Armenia.
To remind, at the meeting held on November 7, the State Technical Committee of Ukraine fined Veolia water company 20 million drams for abusing its dominant position.
