Moscow. 10 Feb. INTERFAX.RU – a Group of deputies in the Duma introduced a bill banning discounts on alcohol. According to the text of the bill posted on the website of the state Duma, the law on state regulation of production and turnover of alcohol is proposed to add a ban on “the promotion of alcohol products”.

In particular, the authors of the document propose to prohibit the free distribution of alcohol among the population, including in the form of gifts, as well as “the use of discounts the prices of alcoholic products by any means, including through the issuance of coupons and vouchers”.

In the explanatory note to the bill States that the availability of alcohol is one of the causes of alcoholism in Russia, and promotion of trade networks serve as an additional incentive for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. “Discounts, which sometimes reach 40-50%, pushing people to the formation of stocks of alcohol and consumption growth”, – stated in the text.

According to the authors of the bill, discounts and promotions, “which are held almost constantly in the vast majority of retail outlets, forcing the consumer to purchase do not need it really product.”

Often discounts and promotions are “purely psychological”, when the effect of the discount is achieved by specifying the price tag of the original deliberately inflated prices, say the authors of the bill. “Thus, in the formation of excessive demand for alcohol even there is no real reduction in the price of the goods. The prohibition of discounts on alcohol products will eliminate excessive demand for alcohol and will ensure the freedom of the consumer in choosing a product,” reads the explanatory note.

the Authors of the bill believe the low price of alcohol one of the main causes of alcoholism, which is called the “instrument of destruction of Russia.”

a Group of deputies of the state Duma from the LDPR faction has submitted to Parliament a draft law on introduction in Russia of a ban on the promotion of alcohol sales through discounts and free distribution of alcohol.

the Draft amendments to the law “On state regulation of production and turnover of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products and about restriction of consumption (drinking) of alcoholic products” published on the website of the state Duma.

the List already provided by the act restrictions on the sale of alcohol (prohibition of sale to minors in places of a mass congestion of people, etc.) proposed to add a prohibition on “the use of discounts the prices of alcoholic products by any means, including through the issuance of coupons and vouchers”.

at the same time the authors of the bill propose to introduce a ban on the use as stimulation of sales of alcoholic beverages, free distribution of alcohol, “including in the form of gifts.”

the Need for new limitations the authors of the bill explain the dangers of alcoholism in the population, one of the main reasons which they consider to be reasonable prices on liquor.

“the Ongoing trade networks promotion serve as an additional incentive for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. Discounts that sometimes reach 40-50%, pushing people to the formation of stocks of alcohol and consumption growth”, — emphasized in the document.

the developers of the bill underline that the price tags with the specified discount on them actually forcing the consumer to buy alcohol, which in fact he did not need. Thus, the real reduction in the number of cases does not occur, “the effect is achieved by reference to the initial price tag deliberately inflated prices”.

Proving the effectiveness of the restrictive measures, the authors of the explanatory notes to the bill refer to the fact that two years after the entry into force of the law banning Smoking in public places, the Russians began to smoke at 17% less.

In early February 2017 offer on a ban of promotion actions in the sale of alcohol was supported by the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova. “Promotion should be treated like any other advertising campaign, and should be banned,” she said.

the Majority of respondents RBC market participants opposed the initiative of deputies. It will have a negative impact on the level of population’s knowledge of legal outlets and the availability of certified high-quality alcohol, says the source of RBC in the retail market. In regions where the surrogates are already dangerous, the retail sector is working to increase the level of knowledge of the population through the promo, he explains. According to the source, now the percentage of alcohol in the structure of goods that are sold on promotions, is about 30%.

According to Rospotrebnadzor, the consumption of alcohol the average inhabitant of Russia over the last few years has dropped by almost half — in the moment in every Russian there is about 10 liters of pure alcohol per year, compared to 15 litres in 2009.

However, the official statistic does not account for consumption by Russians are not intended for drinking of alcohol-containing liquids. At the end of 2016 in the Irkutsk region after drinking concentrate for taking baths “Hawthorn” died about 80 people, which forced the CPS to introduce a ban on the sale of non-food alcohol-containing liquids.
