Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service Committee and Sochi 2014 coordination committee found out that the said company engaged in unfair competition practices by using the Olympics logos illegally on its Chevrolet automobiles. The FAS committee ordered General Motors Daewoo Auto Technology CIS to stop violating the existing regulations.
