State Duma deputies want to put a taboo on the implementation of alcoholic beverages to persons under 21 years of age. The bill is aimed at combating alcoholism young people.
If the age at which you can buy alcohol to be raised, this will help reduce the level of alcohol abuse among the young generation, considered in the state Duma. "I think this project is timely and in the moment, especially given the support of the Public chamber and the population. Over 70% of our people, according to surveys of the all-Russian center for public opinion research (VTSIOM), supported the project. We hope that now, contrary to the efforts of lobbyists, which spaivayut our population, the government will hear what it really wants people," quote "Izvestia" the author of the project, first Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on social policy Vyacheslav Fetisov.
According to him, the bill would mean making configurations in the Civil code of the Russian Federation and the Federal law "On municipal regulation of production and turnover of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-free products and limits consumption (drinking) of alcoholic beverages" in terms of prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages to persons June 21. Under current law, the alcohol does not implement the gentlemen under the age of 18.
Similar projects have appeared previously in 2012 and 2013, but the parliamentarians did not approve them. Taking into account the opinion of the deputies of the state Duma, the document was strongly held in the rights of the adult population of Russia, which contradicts the Civil code. But later members of the Public chamber announced that the interpretation of the code may not prevent the adoption of the law, because at the moment there are some limitations in the rights of adult citizens of Russia. For example, the state Duma may be the only person under 21 years of age.
