Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov has asked Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk to draw attention to the problems with Megapolis and Ukrenergo companies, whose decisions are within the competence of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMC).

"This is not the competence of the Interior Ministry to react to the social movement conflict, for example, with Megapolis company, which is a monopolist in the cigarette and tobacco business with a huge participation of Russian capital. This is the competence of the AMC. I would like to move these accents from the power street situation to the sphere of the AMC and would ask Yatseniuk to intervene [in the situation]," he said during a government meeting.

Avakov added he cannot deal with the situation with the complaints of Hyundai with respect to Ukrenergo's actions during the next purchase of transformers.

"This is again in the competence of the AMC. Because I do not know how to react to people's deputies, the crowd of "titushki" on the one hand, and traders who crowd around the AMC's decisions on the other hand," the minister said.
