the development of the Russian Federation potrebrynka
Permission to sell alcohol over the Internet will have no impact on the
development of the consumer market in the Russian Federation, said Deputy
Economic Development Minister Oleg Fomichev.
Head of the Department of Internal Trade, light industry and the consumer
market of Industry and Trade Denis Pak said that the ministry hopes to
eliminate the risks associated with the sale of alcohol through the Internet,
and believes that marketing authorization will contribute to the development of
the consumer market.
"Perhaps the development of the consumer market prohibition or permit the
sale of alcohol through some any new formats has nothing to do", - he said
Fomichev told reporters.
In late August the information appeared in the media that the profile
departments were instructed to consider the possibility of lifting restrictions
on the number of remote sales of food products, pharmaceuticals, health
products, alcohol, tobacco. Ministry of Economic Development and Ministry of
Industry support this initiative, the Ministry of Health and the Federal Service
oppose.
