Yesterday, the Tallinn Administrative Court made a decision in the dispute between AS Tallinna Vesi and the Competition Authority in administrative case 3-14-363. The Tallinn Administrative Court decided to dismiss AS Tallinna Vesi´s complaints.
The administrative case concerns AS Tallinna Vesi’s complaint against the Competition Authority for the compensation for loss of tariff income, as well as complaints challenging the refusal to review AS Tallinna Vesi’s applications for the approval of water tariffs for 2013-2017.
The company has a right to appeal within 30 days to the Tallinn Circuit Court.
Administrative case 3-14-363 is separate from the on-going international arbitration proceedings where AS Tallinna Vesi and United Utilities (Tallinn) B.V. have submitted a damages 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. AS Tallinna Vesi is still waiting for the decision in the arbitration proceedings regarding the possible damages claim.
