Ukraine's Antimonopoly Committee has rejected a claim of WOG Aero Jet LLC against a procedure for buying diesel fuel by public joint-stock company Ukrzaliznytsia won by Socar Ukraine Trade House.

"The panel has decided not to satisfy the claim, as the proofs of the claimant [WOG] were denied by the materials presented by the customer [Ukrzaliznytsia]," the committee said.

The committee reported that the agreement signed by Ukrzaliznytsia and Socar on August 1 is invalid, as it was signed in the period when the tender challenging procedure was not finished.

As reported, Socar Ukraine Trade House LLC first won a tender held by Center for Provision of Production of public joint-stock company Ukrzaliznytsia to supply diesel fuel, although the bidder of similar tenders WOG Aero Jet which price was 15.3% higher challenged the results of the tender.
