The Ministry of Industry and Trade requested that alcohol sales be allowed in fixed markets. The newspaper reports this “News”by quoting sources.
It was announced that this applies to both the legalization of the sale of bottled alcoholic beverages and their bottling in public dining establishments.
Today, the sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in markets in Russia. The agency proposes to allow the sale of alcoholic products in wholesale and retail outlets, provided that sellers or catering establishments obtain the necessary licenses.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade believes that such a measure will create new markets in Russia and improve the functioning of existing sales points. In addition, the ministry notes that legalizing the sale of alcohol in such public places will reduce cases of markets such as shopping malls being disguised as objects for other purposes.
It was previously reported that the representative for the protection of the rights of entrepreneurs in Russia, Boris Titov, and the Federation of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers were appointed. It was recommended to allow Catering establishments, similar to stores, sell alcohol.
