The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) is an enforcement agency responsible for monitoring market competition and regulatory compliance in Russia. It has initiated antitrust investigations into companies such as RusAl over pricing practices, issued warnings to fuel suppliers regarding price increases, and proposed changes to railway ticket refund rules allowing carriers to set fees up to 10% of ticket cost. FAS also took action against Apple over alleged discrimination against Russian search engines and non-compliance with local software pre-installation requirements.
