A special commission will consider where residents of Yekaterinburg will be able to buy alcohol.
The administration of Yekaterinburg plans to create a commission to precisely determine the boundaries of territories where retail alcohol sales will be prohibited. The proposal was aimed at addressing the problems of entrepreneurs who face difficulties obtaining licenses due to uncertainty in defining areas adjacent to social facilities.
The commission will determine the boundaries of areas adjacent to educational, medical and sports institutions where federal law already establishes a ban on retail alcohol sales.
— Requests have been received from representatives of business and public organizations asking to clarify the permissible boundaries of adjacent territories on which the sale of alcoholic products is not allowed, Ura.Ru quotes Yekaterinburg’s deputy head Dmitry Nozhenko.
The commission will include heads of the city administration’s sectoral bodies, as well as representatives of business and public organizations. They will review the conclusions of government authorities and make decisions to approve or deny the establishment of the boundaries of "dry" zones.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Health proposed selling alcohol only to people aged 21 and over.
