Russia's competition authority The Federal Anti-Monopolgy Service (FAS) is considering launching proceedings against French container carrier CMA CGM in connection with so-called administrative violations, reports PortNews.

The move is the latest development in a case against 13 global container carriers, including CMA CGM, whom the Russian authorities suspect of illegally fixing prices, which prompted FAS to launch a case in December 2013. According to the authorities, CMA CGM have not delivered requested documents in connection with the case, which is in violation of a provision of the Russian protection law "On protection of competition."
