Passenger transportation under the guise of customized fac. Sample passenger list when performing charter flights

The Government of the Russian Federation proposes to exclude the possibility of carrying passengers and luggage by road and urban land electric transport in a notification manner without obtaining a license. For this purpose, it is planned 1 to establish a ban on the carriage of passengers and baggage without a license by vehicles equipped for the carriage of more than 8 people and to amend Art. 1, Art. 12, art. 19 of the Federal Law of May 4, 2011 No. 99-FZ "On licensing certain types of activities" (hereinafter - the law on licensing).

The fact is that activities for the regular transportation of passengers by road vehicles equipped for the carriage of more than 8 people are subject to licensing (clause 24, part 1 of article 12 of the law on licensing), and the implementation of entrepreneurial activities for the transportation of passengers and luggage by road on request is currently of a notification nature (clause 6, part 2, article 8 of the Federal Law of December 26, 2008, No. 294-FZ "On the Protection of the Rights of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs in the Exercise of State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control").

How, for the purposes of taxation of the profits of organizations and personal income tax, payments to an employee for using his personal car for business purposes are taken into account in the absence of a lease agreement? The answer to this and other questions can be found in "Legal Consulting Base" Internet versions of the GARANT system. Get full access for 3 days for free!

Therefore, carriers, in order to avoid the fulfillment of licensing requirements, file applications for the cancellation of the license and proceed to the implementation of, in fact, regular transportations under the guise of ordered ones.

It is also proposed to punish them for failure to provide information necessary for maintaining a unified automated information system for vehicle inspection.

At the moment, for non-payment of a fine, an administrative arrest for up to 15 days can be imposed.

More than 1,000 km of roads were repaired with these funds.

Since the beginning of this year, more than 1,000 illegal passenger transportation without a permit has been registered in Russia.

Carriage of passengers by various types of vehicles must be carried out on the basis of a permit.

To obtain a license, a carrier company must have a certain set of vehicles, a sufficient number of qualified drivers and additional personnel, as well as submit to the controlling organization a set of documents confirming all the main factors.

Is there a responsibility for the lack of a license, and what punishment is provided by laws, read on.

What concerns

In order for transportation not to be considered illegal, the following conditions must be met simultaneously:

  • an organization - a carrier must have a license to engage in entrepreneurial activity related to passenger transportation. Permits are issued by the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Transport, or rather the regional divisions of this organization, which are available in each regional center of the Russian Federation;

To obtain a license, a company or an individual entrepreneur (an individual cannot obtain a permit under any circumstances) must fully comply with the requirements of the legislative acts of the Russian Federation for organizations that carry people.

  • carriage carried out by prior order must be carried out on the basis of a written charter agreement concluded between the organizer of carriage and the passenger. The exception is passenger taxis, when ordering which the charter contract can be concluded orally;

An annex to the vehicle lease agreement are: a waybill indicating the route of travel, a list of passengers, payment documents, and so on.

  • if the carriage is regular, then in addition to the main documents, a route approval issued by the Department of Transport must be attached.

When coordinating the route with the regional authorities, each vehicle is provided with a number, and the driver is given a route map that clearly defines the departure time from the starting point of the route, the time of arrival at intermediate points indicated as stops, the time of arrival at the destination.

The driver is also provided with information about dangerous places along the route, about the location of food and rest points for passengers, about the availability of gas stations and medical institutions.

For passenger

For a passenger using the services of illegal carriers, the consequences can occur in the form of:

  • failure to receive a comprehensive service stipulated by the charter agreement. As a rule, when an offense is detected, the vehicle is delayed, which leads to the impossibility of further movement of people and their delivery to the agreed destination;
  • delivery delays. This aspect is especially important when using regular traffic on a given route;

When concluding a fictitious transport lease agreement, the company is not responsible for the timely delivery of people to their destination and it will be impossible to prove the opposite circumstance in court in order to recover compensation.

  • moral and material damage. Violation of the rules for the transportation of people can entail not only material damage, but also harm to health.

Official carriers are required to insure passengers, which entails the payment of a certain amount of money upon the occurrence of an insured event.

Illegal carriers do not conclude insurance contracts, therefore, it is impossible to recover the amount of damage for causing harm to health or damage to the passenger's property.

The legalization of carriers' activities is equally beneficial for both companies and passengers. Organizations can freely engage in their activities without fear of negative consequences, and passengers receive maximum comfort and safety.

Penalty for illegal transportation of passengers

The law establishes certain requirements for taxis, including the obligation to carry passengers only with the appropriate license. Such a permit is issued to the company only after it has been checked by the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport for compliance with all legal requirements.

To avoid the need to prepare all documents, many companies operate without a license. This also applies to private carriers, who are in no hurry to register as individual entrepreneurs, preferring to tax and not pay any taxes for it.

Why is illegal taxi popular?

Taxi is an inexhaustible way of earning money, which allows the driver to earn some money for his life in just a couple of hours. From the first appearance, this service is very popular among the population, because this option for moving around the city is very convenient. Unlike conventional public transport, which travels along a strictly defined route, the car can take the client directly to the entrance, providing high passenger comfort throughout the trip.

Such popularity of taxis among the population has made it attractive to drivers. Especially for those who prefer informal work, since this type of income brings much more profit than ordinary formal work.

Drivers who taxi without a license do not use meters, but agree with passengers on the cost of their services.

The main danger of using an illegal taxi is that the car does not comply with legal requirements. The Taxi Law provides for fines for the illegal transportation of passengers, as this can negatively affect the safety of the passenger.

What to do if illegal passenger transportation is detected?

Road inspectors constantly conduct checks to identify illegal passenger transportation without a license. According to the requirements of the legislation, this document is necessary for the implementation of several types of passenger transportation:

  1. Movement by water transport.
  2. Carriage of passengers by rail.
  3. Travel by car if it can accommodate more than eight people.
  4. Transportation of passengers by light taxi.

Carriage of passengers without a license is punishable by a fine that is imposed on several persons:

  1. A driver who was carrying passengers illegally.
  2. On the person who allowed such transportation of passengers.
  3. For an organization that is not licensed to carry out this type of activity.

If during the second check the same violation of the law is revealed again, in addition to the fine, the vehicle may be confiscated.

What is the fine for an illegal taxi for private carriers?

At the moment, for an illegal taxi without a license there is a fine of 5 thousand rubles. Depending on the region, the amount of the fine can vary and reach up to 10 thousand rubles (the maximum amount of the fine is valid in Moscow).

If the car that carried out the illegal transportation of passengers does not have any identification signals (checkerboard stickers), the driver is brought to administrative responsibility in the form of a fine of 3 thousand rubles.

If the driver carrying passengers, after accepting the funds, did not issue a cash document confirming payment for his services, he may also be held liable in the form of a fine of 1,000 rubles.

If the person driving a passenger vehicle illegally uses the attributes of a taxi, he is prosecuted in the form of a fine of 5 thousand rubles.

Punishment for transporting passengers without a license for organizations

Organizations that carry passengers without proper permission are subject to fines in other amounts.

For the lack of information in the car's interior about the rules of the taxi, the official must pay a fine of 10 thousand rubles. The organization is prosecuted in the form of a fine of 30 thousand. Similar fines are established for cases when a passenger is not issued a check or any other document confirming payment for taxi services.

If the car used for transportation is not equipped with identification signals (lights or color schemes), the organization is obliged to pay a fine of 50 thousand rubles. An official will have to pay 10 thousand rubles for the same punishment.

How to avoid liability for transporting passengers without a license

Now it is possible to avoid responsibility for the illegal transportation of passengers only by following the requirements of the legislation. To get a taxi, the driver will need:

  1. Register as an individual entrepreneur.
  2. Buy the appropriate license.
  3. Install all the necessary accessories on your car.

If the transportation of passengers is the main type of business, it is better to choose a simplified taxation system.

The entire procedure for the legalization of entrepreneurial activity takes a minimum of time and will require expenses of up to 30 thousand rubles.

The State Council of Udmurtia submitted to the State Duma a bill on the administrative responsibility of a carrier for sending the same vehicle used to transport passengers and baggage on request more than three times from the same place during a month. The package of documents was published on Friday in the electronic database of the lower house of parliament.

The document states that recently the problem of accidents has become significantly aggravated in the country as a result of the implementation of mass transportation, a significant part of which is carried out under the guise of ordered.

At the same time, regular transportation is usually carried out by "illegal carriers" under the guise of irregular ones, with an increased risk for passengers (since during their implementation, transport security at the places of embarkation and disembarkation of passengers is not properly ensured, and vehicles and their drivers do not pass appropriate control and verification) and contain signs of unfair competition with respect to legal scheduled carriers.

In this regard, the State Council of Udmurtia proposed for sending the same vehicle more than three times a month without proper approval to impose a fine on citizens in the amount of 3-4 thousand rubles, on officials, as well as on entrepreneurs operating without the formation of a legal persons - 80-100 thousand rubles, for legal entities - 100-200 thousand rubles.

The draft notes the need to introduce appropriate responsibility at the federal level in order to solve the problem under consideration as a whole in the country, and not in individual regions.

Unfortunately, the number of accidents caused by drivers of passenger transport is still growing. This is evidenced by the statistics of the State Traffic Inspectorate for 7 months of this year: due to the fault of bus drivers, 3,141 accidents occurred. This is 3.7% more than in the same period last year. 116 people died in them, which is 20.5% less. 4,667 people were injured.

In our enlightened age, there should be no such accidents. In this regard, the State Duma at a plenary meeting adopted a bill that returns the previously canceled licensing of bus transportation. Its main goal is to counter the illegal regular transportation of passengers, which are carried out under the guise of ordered ones. The law covers buses, minibuses, urban ground electric transport, which carries more than 8 people.

Sergey Bidonko, Deputy Chairman of the Transport and Construction Committee, federal coordinator of the United Russia party project “Safe Roads”, comments on this document.

- At one time, in order to reduce the burden on the business, ordered transportation by road was canceled for licensing. Carriers immediately began to leave regular routes and carry out transportation under the guise of ordered ones with all the ensuing consequences. Thus, a huge number of shipments fell out of license control.

However, it is extremely difficult to prosecute such violators. Our Committee received a large number of proposals from the regions on this topic. This problem is especially acute in large cities where commuting is developed. In addition, it is no secret that drivers who work on such transportation practically live in a car, many neglect their rest and often fall asleep while driving.

Drawing attention to the problem, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on December 17, 2016 instructed the Government to urgently ensure the introduction of amendments to the legislation of the Russian Federation, providing for the compulsory licensing of the activities of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs for all types of passenger transportation by road, including cases when such activities are carried out on request ... The Transport and Construction Committee approved the government bill developed under this instruction. Thus, the federal law on licensing, canceled in 2011, returns to the legislative field.

Now, obtaining a license presupposes that the carrier must comply with certain requirements - the presence of the GLONASS system in the car, regular medical examinations of drivers, and timely technical inspection. The document will oblige drivers of vehicles with a mass of more than 3.5 tons and in which more than eight passenger seats are installed, to equip their vehicles with a tachograph. Failure to comply with any of the clauses may result in refusal to issue a license.

I am sure that licensing will improve road safety, and the requirements for carriers will lead to a reduction in the number of accidents. I believe that the adoption of this law will not affect the cost of travel in public transport.

The circumstances of the collision of a minibus with a bus on October 5 in the Tver region showed how important it is to strengthen control over transportation of all statuses. The accident, in which, according to preliminary data, 13 people died, once again reminded that the law on the return of licenses for private carriers is vital.

The culprit turned out to be illegal

In the early morning of October 5, there was a major accident on the road near the village of Nekrasovo, Tver Region. The Ford Transit minibus drove into the oncoming lane and flew into the LiAZ regular bus at full speed. In an accident, 13 people died, including the driver of the minibus. At the same time, it was lucky that the bus was almost empty and the main blow fell on the driver's seat, but the man survived.

It soon became clear that the route taxi was working illegally. "This is a private company that carries out illegal passenger transportation under the guise of ordered", - the governor of the Tver region told reporters Igor Rudenya.

Licenses for private traders will return

Such accidents have long ceased to cause surprise. After licenses for charter and private transportation were abolished in 2012, the number of accidents involving buses is constantly growing, the Ministry of Transport reported. The statistics of the State Traffic Inspectorate confirms this: in 2015, 4996 accidents occurred due to the fault of bus drivers, in 2016 - 5294, in 2017 - 5608. And since the beginning of 2018, 3632 accidents have already occurred in Russia. True, the data of the traffic police did not indicate the characteristics of the perpetrators of the accidents: whether they were illegal carriers or drivers of regular buses is unknown.

But the fact that pirate flights run on Russian roads is undeniable. The license obliges carriers to comply with a lot of rules: maintain premises for the repair and maintenance of vehicles, conduct a medical examination of drivers before flights and ensure that they do not violate the Traffic Rules, install tachometers and GLONASS systems on buses, and so on. To avoid all this, unscrupulous companies began to simply refuse licenses and make regular transportations under the guise of ordered ones.

Last year, lawmakers concluded that licenses are needed for absolutely all transportation of eight or more passengers. Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities will be required to obtain licenses if they carry people by order or for the needs of the company. The corresponding bill, developed by the Ministry of Transport, was included in the list of priorities for the autumn session. In the plans of the State Duma, consideration of the document was scheduled for October this year. As the head of the Duma Committee on Transport and Construction told Parlamentskaya Gazeta, the second reading of the bill should take place next week.

How to identify an illegal

I must admit: semi-legal minibus flights are in demand among Russians. Because they better meet the ever-changing demand, explained the chairman of the Passenger Union. Kirill Yankov... And it's not even a matter of lower prices, but such carriers save on the maintenance of vehicles and drivers, so they can afford to dump. Minibuses are more mobile, they can travel more often and stop on demand.

“That is why it is necessary that control be strengthened over any carriers, regardless of their status. And this is still the problem, ”Kirill Yankov told Parlamentskaya Gazeta.

At the same time, the expert does not see the return of licenses as a panacea: “It is not a fact that the presence of a license will guarantee control of the technical condition of the vehicle and the condition of the driver. In addition, there is always a possibility of an accident on the road, even if the driver observes all traffic rules, as the driver of LiAZ did. "

Passengers who care about their own safety have one piece of advice: prefer legal flights. How do you define a bona fide carrier? “If the bus runs on schedule and departs from the bus station, then there is a high probability that the company controls compliance with all requirements for transport and driver. If the bus does not leave from the bus station, it is not on the schedule, it collects passengers around the city - confidence in the quality of service is much lower, ”advised Kirill Yankov.

The regional newspaper "Prishagane" constantly publishes information containing information on the exact timetable with an indication of the specific fare and the telephone number used to receive orders for the route "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaisky-Buzuluk".

Federal Law of 08.11.2007 N 259-FZ directly stipulates that when carrying out transportation by order, the parties preliminarily agree on the route and place of delivery of the vehicle, the timing of the transportation and the amount of payment for using the vehicle.

The information that was published in the newspaper "Prichagane" is in the nature of a commercial proposal of the charterer for the implementation of passenger transportation by order.

Activities for the provision of services for the carriage of passengers and baggage on orders by road transport (except for the implementation of such carriage on regular routes, as well as to meet the own needs of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs) is carried out in a notification manner.

Having examined the materials of the case, having heard the explanations of the parties, the Commission of the Orenburg OFAS Russia came to the following conclusions.

According to Part 1 of Article 4 of the Law on the Protection of Competition, a product is an object of civil rights (including work, service, including financial service) intended for sale, exchange or other introduction into circulation.

In accordance with clause 4 of article 4 of the Law on the Protection of Competition, the commodity market is the sphere of circulation of goods (including foreign-made goods) that cannot be replaced by other goods, or interchangeable goods (hereinafter referred to as a certain product), within the boundaries of which (including geographic) based on economic, technical or other possibilities or expediency, the purchaser can purchase the goods, and there is no such possibility or expediency outside of it.

According to clause 5 of article 4 of the Law on the Protection of Competition, an economic entity is a commercial organization, a non-profit organization carrying out activities that bring it income, an individual entrepreneur, another individual who is not registered as an individual entrepreneur, but carries out professional activities that generate income, in accordance with federal laws on the basis of state registration and (or) license, as well as by virtue of membership in a self-regulatory organization

By virtue of Clause 7 of Article 4 of the Law on the Protection of Competition, competition is the rivalry of economic entities, in which the independent actions of each of them exclude or limit the ability of each of them to unilaterally influence the general conditions of circulation of goods in the relevant commodity market.

SP«<…>» has license no.«<…>»

SP«<…>» carries out regular passenger traffic on the route "Pervomaisky - Orenburg" and "Pervomaisky - Buzuluk", which is confirmed by a certificate for the right to carry out transportation, route maps, contracts for dispatch and cash services and a schedule.

SP«<…>» has license no.«<…>» to carry out activities for the carriage of passengers by road transport equipped for the carriage of more than eight people (unless the specified activity is carried out on orders or to meet the own needs of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur).

SP«<…>» carries out regular passenger traffic on the route "Pervomaisky - g. Buzuluk ", which is confirmed by a certificate for the right to carry out transportation, a route map, contracts for dispatch and cash services and a schedule.

SP«<…>» carries out the carriage of passengers and baggage on orders by road on the route "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaysky-Buzuluk", which is confirmed by chartering agreements and advertisements posted in the newspaper "Prishagane" (Social and political newspaper of the Pervomaisky district of the Orenburg region).

Thus, taking into account the provisions of paragraph 7 of Article 4 of the Law on Protection of Competition, IP«<…>» carries out activities similar to those carried out by individual entrepreneurs«<…>» and SP«<…>» , that is, it actually carries out entrepreneurial activity in the same commodity market for the transportation of passengers along the route "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaisky-Buzuluk", therefore, the above carriers are business entities-competitors.

Federal Law No. 259-FZ of 08.11.2007 "Charter of Road Transport and Urban Land Electric Transport" (hereinafter - Law No. 259) regulates relations arising in the provision of services by road and urban land electric transport, which are part of the transport system of the Russian Federation.

According to Art. 5 Law No. 259, carriage of passengers and luggage by road are subdivided into: regular transportation; transportation by orders; transportation by passenger taxis.

In accordance with Art. 19 of Law No. 259, regular transportation of passengers and baggage is carried out on the basis of a public contract for the carriage of a passenger on a regular route. Regular transportation of passengers and baggage is subdivided into transportation with embarkation and disembarkation of passengers only at designated stopping points along the route of regular transportation; transportation with embarkation and disembarkation of passengers in any place not prohibited by traffic rules on the route of regular transportation. Transportation with embarkation and disembarkation of passengers only at designated stopping points along the route of regular transportation is carried out in accordance with the schedules established for each stopping point. Transportation with embarkation and disembarkation of passengers in any place not prohibited by the traffic rules on the regular transportation route is carried out in accordance with the schedules established for following from the initial and final stopping points along the regular transportation route.

In accordance with section II "Regular transportation" of the "Rules for the carriage of passengers and baggage by road and urban land electric transport" approved by the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 14, 2009 No. 112 (hereinafter referred to as the Government Resolution No. 112), regular transportation of passengers and baggage is carried out according to schedules ... The schedule contains the intervals for the departure of vehicles, including by time periods of the day, or the time schedule for the departure of vehicles from the stopping point. Passengers travel on regular routes by tickets.

According to Part 1 of Article 27 of Law No. 259, the transportation of passengers and baggage on request is carried out by a vehicle provided on the basis of a charter agreement concluded in writing

In accordance with Article 787 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, under a charter agreement (charter), one party (the charterer) undertakes to provide the other party (the charterer) for a fee all or part of the capacity of one or more vehicles for one or more flights for the carriage of goods, passengers and luggage.

Based on the content of Part 2 and Part 4 of Law No. 259, the charter agreement specified in part 1 of this article , should include: 1) information about the charterer and charterer; 2) the type of vehicle provided (if necessary - the number of vehicles); 3) route and place of delivery of the vehicle; 4) a certain or indefinite circle of persons for the transportation of which the vehicle is provided; 5) the timing of the transportation; 6) the amount of payment for the use of the vehicle; 7) the procedure for admitting passengers to board a vehicle, established taking into account the requirements provided for by the rules for the carriage of passengers (if the vehicle is provided for the carriage of a certain circle of persons).

If there is no need to carry out systematic transportation of passengers and baggage by order, the charter agreement is concluded in the form of an order-order for the provision of a vehicle for the carriage of passengers and baggage. The details and the procedure for filling out such a work order are established by the rules for the carriage of passengers.

Section III “Carriage of Passengers and Baggage by Order” Government Decree No. 112 indicates that a charter agreement may provide for the use of vehicles for the carriage of a certain circle of persons or an indefinite circle of persons. A charter agreement, providing for the use of vehicles for the carriage of a certain circle of persons, establishes the procedure for admitting these persons to boarding a vehicle in accordance with paragraph 92 of these Rules. Boarding of persons specified by the charter agreement into a vehicle provided for the charter transportation of passengers and baggage is carried out upon presentation of documents by the indicated persons to the charterer (service certificate, excursion voucher, etc.) certifying their right to travel in this vehicle, and (or ) in accordance with the list of passengers provided to the charterer by the charterer. A charter contract may be concluded in the form of a work order for the provision of a vehicle for the carriage of passengers and luggage, drawn up by the charterer. The specified work order must contain the mandatory details that are defined in Appendix No. 4 of the Rules. The vehicle provided for the carriage of passengers and baggage on request is made out with plates with the inscription "Customized", placed: a) above the vehicle windshield and (or) in the upper part of the windshield; b) on the right side of the body in the direction of the vehicle; c) on the rear window of the vehicle. Above the windshield and (or) on the right side of the body in the direction of the vehicle, the short name of the charterer is indicated.

Thus, the distinguishing features of regular transportation from ordered ones are the presence of a public contract as the basis for transportation, the implementation of transportation according to the established schedule along the route of regular communication in accordance with the route passport, on the basis of permits issued by the authorized body in the field of organizing regular passenger transportation, transportation is carried out systematically ...

A distinctive feature of passenger transportation by order is that transportation is carried out by order of a passenger, while the route and departure time are also determined by passengers.

Based on the content of the letter from the Ministry of Economic Development, Industrial Policy and Trade of the Orenburg Region («<…>» ) it follows that the IS«<…>» certificates of transportation on intermunicipal routes No. 735 "Orenburg-Pervomaiski" and No. 633 "Buzuluk-Pervomayskiy", as well as route maps were not issued by the authorized body and information was not entered into the Register of inter-municipal routes of regular transportation through the territory of the Orenburg region.

SP«<…>» carries out ordered transportation on the basis of notification No.«<…>» on the start of entrepreneurial activity from«<…>» (UGADN for the Orenburg region). Transportation is carried out on the basis of a charter agreement for the carriage of a certain circle of passengers by road. Lists of 1-5 passengers are attached to these agreements.

Under the terms of chartering agreements, vehicles are provided for ordered transportation in the interests of a certain circle of persons. Passengers boarding vehicles is carried out in strict accordance with the list of a certain circle of persons who confirm their presence in the vehicle with the signature and name of the full name provided by the "Charterer" before the departure and (or) the beginning of the movement of the vehicle. The period of transportation of a certain circle of persons in accordance with this contract and in accordance with the application.

In accordance with chartering agreements, the place of delivery of the vehicle is: Pervomaisky, st. 60 years of the USSR, station square, collection at stops.

At the same time, it should be noted that chartering agreements for the carriage of a certain circle of passengers by road, provided in the materials of this case, were concluded mainly between individual entrepreneurs«<…>» and«<…>»

The regular nature of transportation on the specified routes of an indefinite circle of persons carried out by individual entrepreneurs«<…>» , is confirmed by the presence of an information plate on vehicles that carry passengers with an indication of the specific route "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaysky-Buzuluk", which is confirmed by the photographs provided in the materials of this case. These photographs show vehicles of individual entrepreneur S.V. Korchagina. which carry passengers "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" («<…>» ).

In the regional newspaper "Prishagane" since 2016. and to date, information is being published, which indicates the following:

Departure route: "Orenburg-Pervomaisky" and "Pervomaisky-Buzuluk";

Specific departure time on the routes "Orenburg-Pervomaisky" (departure from Pervomaysky at 5:00, 6:00, 8:30; departure from Orenburg at 12:00, 13:00, 15:00; on Sunday 14:00, 15 : 00) and "Pervomaisky-Buzuluk" (departure every hour from Pervomaysky starting at 7:00 and from Buzuluk starting at 11:00);

Payment for travel on the routes "Orenburg-Pervomaisky" (from 400 rubles) and "Pervomaisky - Buzuluk" (200 rubles) from passengers;

Notification No. 56164-UV dated 08/30/2016 is indicated. and permission 56 No. 010747 dated 03/14/2016, which were issued by the individual entrepreneur«<…>»

The fact of placing the above information in the newspapers "Prichagane" is confirmed and not disputed by the individual entrepreneur«<…>» and his representative«<…>»

According to the information provided by the applicants, the payment for regular passenger transportation is set in the amount of: "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" 550 rubles; "Pervomaisky-Buzuluk" 200 rubles.

The Commission believes that an indefinite circle of persons can familiarize themselves with this information. The content of this information is a specific timetable for the movement of vehicles on the route "Pervomaisky - Orenburg" and "Pervomaisky - Buzuluk". Potential passengers, having seen a vehicle with an indication of the route, seeing information in the newspaper "Prichagane" on the route schedule and the cost of the trip, not seeing a significant difference in carriers and taking into account the need to travel from one settlement to another, give preference to the vehicle that makes the trip earlier than regular flights and at a low price.

In addition, IP«<…>» gets an advantage in the implementation of passenger traffic on the route "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaysky-Buzuluk", in the form of lack of time and costs for the preparation of documents for participation in the competition and for registration of the relevant permits.

The Commission of the Orenburg OFAS Russia, having analyzed the documents provided from the applicants and from the defendant in the materials of this case, established that the timetable for the vehicles of both the applicant and the individual entrepreneur«<…>» were daily, and the departure and arrival times of the vehicles coincided or were close to each other. Timetable of movement of vehicles SP«<…>» was brought to the attention of passengers at the points of departure, as well as through placement in the newspapers "Prichagane". Initial and final departure points of vehicles of applicants and individual entrepreneurs«<…>» match. Sending vehicles to individual entrepreneurs«<…>» and SP«<…>» carried out from the bus station, vehicles of individual entrepreneurs«<…>» depart from the station square next to the bus station.

The commission concludes that the actions of the individual entrepreneur«<…>» contradict the requirements of integrity, reasonableness and fairness, proceeding from the following: outwardly imitating the provision of services for ordered passenger transportation along a route that coincides with the IP routes«<…>» and SP«<…>» actually carries out business activities to provide services for regular passenger transportation. SP«<…>» could not have been unaware of the presence of a legitimate competitor on the market. Evidence to the contrary was not presented in the materials of this case.

Therefore, the actions of the SP«<…>» are aimed at obtaining advantages in the implementation of entrepreneurial activities by violating the rules of competition between business entities (setting the time and price of a flight solely at their own discretion and in order to create illegal advantages for themselves in relation to a competitor).

SP«<…>» in violation of the requirements of the current regulatory legal acts, uses the inter-municipal routes "Peromaysky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaysky-Buzuluk" to make a profit. Meanwhile, other market participants carrying out activities in accordance with the requirements of regulatory legal acts, including individual entrepreneurs«<…>» and SP«<…>» , cannot thus increase their income, since such actions will lead to the loss of the universal character of regular passenger transport, which is necessary to meet the corresponding needs of the population.

The operation of an unaccounted route also leads to a redistribution of passenger traffic, a change in the economic indicators of routes and, as a result, causing losses to business entities-competitors in the form of lost profits. Outflow of passengers to individual entrepreneurs«<…>» as a result of the latter's unlawful actions, it can cause losses to business entities-competitors, who are conscientiously operating in the product market in question (including applicants), in the form of unearned income (loss of profits) that they could have received under normal conditions of competition.

In accordance with paragraph 9 of Article 4 of the Law on the Protection of Competition, unfair competition is any actions of economic entities (groups of persons) that are aimed at obtaining advantages in the implementation of entrepreneurial activities, contrary to the legislation of the Russian Federation, business customs, the requirements of integrity, reasonableness and justice and have caused or may cause losses to other business entities - competitors, or have caused or may harm their business reputation.

The prohibition of unfair competition is established by Art. 14.8 of the Law on Protection of Competition.

According to Article 10- bis According to the Paris Convention ("Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property", concluded in Paris on March 20, 1883), an act of unfair competition is considered to be any act of competition that contradicts honest customs in industrial and commercial affairs.

In such circumstances, the Commission considers that the SP«<…>» actually carries out activities similar to those in which the individual entrepreneur is engaged«<…>» and SP«<…>» , that is, it carries out passenger transportation on a regular basis on the route "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" and "Pervomaisky-Buzuluk" under the guise of ordered passenger transportation, which in turn contradicts the legislation of the Russian Federation, business customs, the requirements of integrity, reasonableness and justice and may cause losses to other business entities, respectively, is an act of unfair competition in accordance with Article 14.8 of the Law on Protection of Competition.

Based on the foregoing and taking into account the totality of the available evidence established by the circumstances of the case, the Commission concludes that the SP«<…>» the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation, establishedarticle 14.8 of the Federal Law of July 26, 2006. No. 135-FZ "On the Protection of Competition", expressed in the commission of actions through the implementation of regular passenger traffic on the inter-municipal route "Pervomaisky-Buzuluk" and "Pervomaisky-Orenburg" in the absence of permits provided for by the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

The commission concludes that it is necessary to issue an order to an individual entrepreneur«<…>» on taking actions aimed at eliminating violations of the antimonopoly legislation.

Guided by article 14.8, 23, part 1 of article 39, parts 1, 2 of article 41, 45, article 49, article 50 of the Federal Law of July 26, 2006 No. 135-FZ "On Protection of Competition", Commission
