The regulator of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) believes that the experiment being prepared in Russia for the remote sale of Russian-made alcohol contradicts the union agreement and discriminates against the interests of its member countries, such as Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
According to RBC, such conclusions are contained in a letter that the Department for the Development of Entrepreneurship of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) sent to the State Legal Department of the President of Russia at the end of last December.
In its response, the EAEU regulatory body notes that the introduction of a new remote method of selling a “certain type of alcoholic product” softens the rules for the circulation of such alcoholic products and is a step towards market liberalization if it applies to all alcoholic products of this type, including those produced persons of other EAEU member states.
“The introduction on a permanent basis of regulation in relation to the remote retail sale of exclusively Russian wines, fortified wines, sparkling wine will have signs of inconsistency with the provisions of the agreement,” the document specifies.
