Arbitration Court of Moscow District dismissed the appeal "Tekhnopromexport" (Ltd. TPE) and Russian "daughter» Siemens on the decision to refuse to meet their counter-claims for the supply of turbines for power plants under construction in Crimea, RIA Novosti.
The subject of the subsidiary claims was non-compliance sanctions reservations, prescribed in the contract, in respect of the supply of products in the Crimea. The plaintiff also demanded to return him four turbines.
As the representative of the protection Ltd. TPE, unilateral EU and US restrictions "are not the rules of international law" and may not be enforceable in the territory of the Russian Federation. He called the principle of extraterritorial application of the sanctions "quintessential legal imperialism in the world today".
Ltd. TPE in turn demanded the court to invalidate the contract clauses provide for the applicant's right to refuse performance of the contract, if it threatens the EU sanctions violation for the supply of power in the Crimea.
In December last year, the Moscow Arbitration Court dismissed the claim two. He also found Siemens's arguments unconvincing, that the contract with JSC TPE was made a subsidiary "under the influence of fraud or significant error".
earlier it was reported, that the turbine before delivery to the Crimea have undergone significant alteration in Russia with the use of domestic technologies, as a result of which their capacity was increased.
