Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 19 August 2020, the Antimonopoly Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan held another hearing of the case opened against UzAuto Motors on grounds of violation of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Competition".

In connection with the tight deadlines for the preparation of additional materials necessary to substantiate controversial issues, UzAuto Motors sent a petition to postpone the consideration of the case (according to the Cabinet of Ministers No. 225 dated 12.10.2005) to a later date. The Antimonopoly Committee examined the case unilaterally, which resulted in a decision based on incomplete data, UzAuto Motors said in a statement.

“It should be noted that the production of cars is a complex process, the study of which takes a lot of time. A deeper and more thorough study of the activities of UzAuto Motors will be possible in the course of further judicial consideration, the right to which the company intends to use,” the statement reads.

The company notes that the decision made by the special commission under the Antimonopoly Committee is not final - further actions will be determined based on the results of the judicial review.

“In turn, the company informs that the cost of cars is reasonable and in the current situation, the reduction is not possible,” UzAuto Motors emphasized.
