In Russia, we thought about monitoring methanol.
The Russian government supported the idea of creating a state register of companies that are engaged in the implementation of methanol. We are talking about a bill that is proposed to establish state regulation of methanol circulation and methanol -containing liquids, the correspondent of The Moscow Post reports.
As the newspaper writes “News”one of the ideas is the formation of a special register of companies that are engaged in operations with this alcohol. To become a “part” of this list, enterprises must notify the authorized bodies of their activities.
In addition, the document is prohibited from retail sales of such alcohol. And the companies working with him should receive licenses.
The reason for the appearance of such initiatives is clear – poisoning, unfortunately, happen. And this phenomenon, let’s say, is frequent. It is worth at least recalling the story with Mr. Sidr (there are both victims and dead). Just recently, the court issued The first sentence In the case of mass poisoning by surrogate sidr.
But back to the project of the Cabinet’s recall. It says that the concept of the bill is relevant and deserves attention. The document is ultimately supported, however, subject to its refinement for the second reading. The authorities believe that it is worth working out the question of the idea of denature methanol.
The purpose of the bill is to exclude methanol from civil circulation, the production and sale of this alcohol should limit themselves to the chemical industry, the authors of the initiative say.
Recall that last year the State Duma Supported amendmentswhich establish criminal liability for the illegal circulation of methyl alcohol (methanol) and methanol -containing liquids under the guise of alcohol products. A new article 234.2 is introduced in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – illegal circulation of methyl alcohol (methanol).
Illegal production, acquisition, storage, transportation or shipping for sales purposes, as well as sales of methane alcohol (methanol) or methanol -containing liquids under the guise of alcohol products are punished with a fine of 100 thousand to 500 thousand rubles. either in the amount of wages, or other income of the convicted person for a period from one year to two years, or obligatory work for up to 480 hours, or forced labor for a term of up to four years, or by deprivation of liberty for the same period.
As well as the same acts, if they are committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy or an organized group; With negligence, they entailed causing serious harm to health or death of a person, are punishable by forced labor for up to five years or imprisonment for a term of up to six years with a fine of up to 700 thousand rubles or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for up to three years or without it.
In addition, when the death of two or more persons, imprisonment for up to ten years with a fine of up to one million rubles is possible.
It was also reported that the domestic Ministry of Industry and Trade Prepared The bill on the introduction in the country of state regulation of the production and turnover of methyl alcohol.
According to the State Duma of Russia given on the website dataLast year, the competent authorities stopped the work of 70 underground production for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages and revealed 30 organized groups, more than 124.6 thousand decalitras of ethyl alcohol and 406.9 thousand dealers of alcohol and alcohol -containing products were seized from illegal turnover.
