The service said it found no violations of competition laws, which prohibit collusions by market entities that result in price fixing or discounts.
The FAS said in August it received an appeal from insurance companies directing the service's attention to an agreement between official Nissan dealers setting fixed costs for the technical maintenance of their cars, particularly for painting work.
Nissan is successful on the Russian market and its sales in Russia in January-July of this year increased 45.4%, year-on-year, to 36,518 vehicles. In June, the company signed a deal to build an automotive plant near St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city.
The company said it will invest about $200 million in car manufacturing in Russia. The first cars from the new plant will roll out in October 2008, and annual output is expected to reach 50,000 cars. Nissan said it will adapt its models for Russia.
GM also signed a contract to build a plant near St. Petersburg and intends to launch full-scale production in 2008. The company already has a track record in Russia, having produced the Chevrolet-Niva off-road vehicle with the country's leading automotive company, AvtoVaz, since 2001, and has opened 48 dealerships in 24 towns and cities.
