In Russia, it was proposed to introduce minimum retail prices (MRP) for draft beer in order to limit the operation of “nalivok” in residential buildings. The newspaper reports this “News”.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has taken the initiative to create an MRP for bottled beer in order to make it less attractive to visit “nalivaks” located on the first floors of residential buildings. According to the ministry, this will help combat harassment of citizens. According to the ministry, the number of people willing to buy foam will decrease if the price tag rises above the minimum level, which is currently 70-80 rubles per liter.
But the State Duma and the expert community believe that the problem is not the price of drinks. State Duma deputy Svetlana Razvorotneva noted that “nalivayki” operate uncontrolled at night, the law prohibits the sale of alcohol after 23:00.
The solution, he says, could be to give residents the right to decide whether such an organization will be allowed to operate in the building. Expert Vadim Drobiz also believes that regions should be given the opportunity to soften restrictions on the time of alcohol sales.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade generally did not support the idea of MPs taking prohibitive measures, fearing that it would have negative consequences for business. The head of the federation stated that restaurant operators also treated the MRC without criticism.
Ministry of Sports in mid-August reported It’s about working to bring beer back to stadiums.
Formerly in the State Duma spoke Banning non-alcoholic beer advertisements.
