The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) regulator believes that the experiment in Russia for the remote sale of alcohol could violate the union agreement and discriminate against the interests of its member states (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan). as he wrote red blood cellsuch conclusions are contained in a letter from the Business Development Department of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) to the State Legal Department of the President of Russia.
Remote selling of alcohol was banned in Russia in 2007.
In 2017, the Ministry of Finance prepared a draft law for the sale of alcohol on the Internet to start in 2020. The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Interior objected. My attempt failed.
In April 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered through the Russian Post to test the sale of alcohol: it was about products made from grapes grown in Russia.
Now it is proposed to open online sales to producers of Russian wines (fixed, sparkling and fortified) in Moscow. Orders can be placed on the Russian Post website, delivery will be made 24 hours after placing the order. The Russian Post began appropriate preparations.
The Eurasian Economic Commission believes that allowing only Russian wines to be sold limits the interests of EAEU countries, but at the same time, only Armenia is a major wine producer among other members.
