On 03.01.2019, AS Tallinna Vesi challenged Competition Authority's decision
dated 04.12.2018 refusing to approve the prices of water services that AS
Tallinna Vesi applied for in Tallinn and Saue service area. On 12.02.2019 the
Competition Authority informed the company, that it will not satisfy the
company´s challenge.
AS Tallinna Vesi may, within 30 days, file an appeal against the decision to the
Tallinn Administrative Court. AS Tallinna Vesi will examine the Competition
Authority's decision in detail, and will thereafter decide whether or not to
file an appeal.
AS Tallinna Vesi is currently in the process of preparing a response to the
Competition Authority concerning the supervisory review procedure, which is
related to the same decision. In this response, the company will explain its
position on the price components, serving as a basis of the prices of water
services. The deadline for AS Tallinna Vesi to respond is currently the
01.04.2019.
The company is still awaiting the decision in the ongoing international
arbitration proceedings, where AS Tallinna Vesi and United Utilities (Tallinn)
B.V. have submitted a damage claim against the Republic of Estonia, based on the
Agreement on Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investments between the
Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of Estonia.
