Russia introduces criminal responsibility for anti-monopoly breaches.
MOSCOW, October 30 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia is introducing on Friday
criminal responsibility for violators of anti-monopoly legislation, the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (FAS) said specifying a prison term of up to seven years is envisaged for abuse of dominating market position or price fixing.
Article 178 of the Criminal Code comes into force on Friday and will
be used in case competition restrictions inflicted damage of over one
million rubles or resulted in proceeds exceeding 25 million rubles.
FAS said no criminal punishment is envisaged for first-time abusers of
the dominating position. "One and the same person has to commit three
violations of the anti-monopoly legislation in three years", after which
FAS will demand criminal persecution.
.Russia wants crewing companies insure seamen's return.
MOSCOW, October 30 (Itar-Tass) -- Numerous problems with Russian
seamen on foreign vessels, when they are not paid and cannot return home,
forced the government to consider introducing compulsory insurance of
Russian sailors for crewing companies.
The Russian government transport commission will meet on Friday to
consider the measures.
"The issue has become critical of late and we often hear that our
seamen are in a plight on foreign vessels," Deputy Prime Minister Sergei
Ivanov said.
Sailors often find themselves abandoned in foreign ports while ship
owners do nothing to return the Russians home, he added.
"Therefore, we shall consider introducing compulsory insurance for the
crewing companies," Ivanov said specifying the companies will have to
insure financial provision for salaries and repatriation expenses.
.Russian movies back in Cuba after 20-year break.
HAVANA, October 30 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian movies came back to Cuba
after a 20-year break as Russian Cinema Week ended in Havana on Thursday.
The audience well-used to Soviet-era films packed the local Charley
Chaplin cinema center to watch nine movies of the event. They comprised We
Are from Future by Andrei Malyukov, Strolls by Alexei Uchitel, Peter-FM by
Oksana Bychkova, The State Counselor by Filipp Yankovsky, Apocalypse Code
by Vadim Shmelev, 12 by Nikita Mikahlkov, Kuka by Yaroslav Chevazhevsky,
Monarchess and Robber by Yekaterina Toldonova, and Island by Pavel Lungin.
Jorghe Frometa from the Arts and Cinematography Institute told Tass
"excellent movies" were shown at the large-scale event unprecedented since
Soviet times.
"There were times when movies from the far-away country were an
ordinary thing in Cuba. Now you can see changes in modern films in
dialogues and in scenery. The films at the Cinema Week were all very
actual and therefore comprehensible for our spectator," he said.
