OREANDA-NEWS. June 10, 2014. Recently, the Latvian Competition Council decided not to initiate a case of possible abuse of dominant position in the activities of TV3 Latvia’s dominant position according to the application brought by Lattelecom.

In its decision the Competition Council concludes that conditions in the television programme producing and distribution market have significantly changed since the dominant position of TV3 Latvia was alleged. However the final conclusion on TV3 Latvia’s current position in the market was not made.

At the same time, the Competition Council stated that currently there are no reasons for suspicion regarding the application of an unfair pricing policy by TV3 Latvia. Likewise it was also not established that attitudes towards Lattelecom may be discriminating in comparison with attitudes towards the rest of the pay-TV operators in the market.

TV3 Latvia in this case was represented by partner Ieva Azanda and associate Tatjana Caika.
