Place of alcoholic beverages – in closed cabinets, deputies

Alcohol products after the tobacco can be removed from the field of view of the buyer. LDPR deputies prepared amendments to the law governing the production and turnover of alcohol products.

The meaning of amendments – to ban the demonstration of any alcoholic beverages, including beer, on the shelves and store windows, told BBC Russian Service author of the bill – State Duma deputy Andrei Svintsov.

According to him, alcoholic beverages must be in separate cabinets with opaque glass, which should be appropriate inscription and call button seller.

Similar cabinets (completely transparent ) can be found in major supermarkets – they are usually exposed to expensive alcohol.

Svintsov convinced that alcohol producers this proposal will not be happy, but it “is not such a big loss in comparison to how many people die every day from alcohol abuse “.

For the health of Russians

A proposal to revise the existing system of alcohol sales do not sound the first time. In July, the Public Chamber has proposed to separate the retail sale of alcohol from the sale of food.

“Realize alcohol is not regulated by law, you can often find shelves of liquor nearby areas or cash at the supermarket vysokoprohodimom place” – said at the time a member of OP Sultan Hamzaev.

Offers Chamber planned to discuss the fall.

Last year, a similar project has already been introduced by the Liberal Democratic Party MPs who offered to sell alcohol in specialty stores or in some halls of shopping centers.

The party in power for the bill in such a vote refused Svintsov recalls.

In Russia, in the year alcohol consumption is 15.1 liters per person according to the WHO, and 13, 5 liters – Statistics Rosstat.

Count how many people die because of alcohol consumption is problematic because there is not always a direct relationship between the cause of death and disease caused by drinking.

The head of the Ministry of Economic Development said the radio” Echo of Moscow “. The Minister said that the Russian budget is very well protected. According to him, there is a decrease of exchange rate relationships for this reason calculus in rubles in budget revenues will be the same.

Alexei Ulyukayev : «We are losing $ 1 per barrel of oil, and it stands for budget about 70 billion rubles and 1 ruble to the dollar exchange rate stands for the budget of about 200 billion rubles, only in reverse. This is 3 to 1. That is, if the price fell by 15, and the rate at 5, then everything is OK ».

Loneliness Putin: it showed the G20 summit in Australia – RBC

Vladimir Putin still left with the summit of the “twenty” in Brisbane earlier than planned. The fact that the Russian leader can change plans and fly to the end of the activities, Reuters reported, and even some of the media on Saturday. “This is nonsense,” – responded at the same presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Putin, in his words, on Sunday was going to take part in the three business activities and leave after the end of the forum. However, the Russian leader flew earlier, even before the adoption of the final communiqué and skipping breakfast is common.

It was originally planned to fly out later, but on Saturday morning it was decided to postpone the departure two hours earlier, told RBC source close to the Russian delegation. Putin told reporters early departure a long flight and a desire to “at least four or five hours sleep” before the working day, noting that the breakfast was Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.

«Some whipping»

Early departure Putin agency explained the pressure that he was under foreign leaders because of the events on Ukraine. The host of the summit, the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has long promised to forum Putin tough talk about the collapse of the Malaysian “Boeing” (killed 38 Australians). Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper met the Russian president with the words: “Well, perhaps, shake your hand, but I must say one thing – get out of the Ukraine,” – transfers the contents of greeting one aide Harper (quoted by Bloomberg).

Reporters noticed that unlike the previous summit, APEC in Beijing, where Putin is standing next to host the summit in the center with a total of photographing, in Brisbane it was placed on the edge, and at lunchtime it together with the President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff sat alone at an empty table.

However, according to Putin, “there is some in the media fanning the situation,” but “the reality and virtual life in the media, in this case differed greatly among themselves.” Sand in the air of “Echo of Moscow” said Harper’s words were “absolutely the bounds of decency”: “Indeed, Harper said that the Russian must leave Ukraine. What Putin said it was impossible, because there are no Russian. This refers to the Russian army. It really was ».

Just about Ukraine

In the official discussions of the” twenty “the question of Ukraine” has not even mentioned, “Putin told Russian reporters. But “all bilateral meetings were devoted exclusively actually problems of Ukraine.” While in Australia, Putin talks with French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, the prime minister of Italy Matteo Renzi and on the sidelines with US President Barack Obama.

Putin called the talk “very frank, informative and helpful.” According to the Russian President, colleagues were able to understand each other better, they carried him to their concerns.

But his interlocutors expressed concern about the escalation of violence in the Ukraine. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the situation in the southeast considers “unsatisfactory”, and Van Rompuy said that “Russia must stop the flow of weapons and soldiers.” “How to help, how quickly we can solve all the complex problems surrounding the Ukrainian crisis – until I can not answer”, – Putin said on the outcome of the discussions.

The Russian president, speaking to reporters about the Ukraine, called the mistake of refusing Kiev Donbass funding. He recalled that Russia has not ceased to finance Chechnya even in the most difficult moments.

Ukraine and discussed without Putin. Abbott, Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met in the trilateral format (the first in this format since 2007), and expressed their readiness to do everything possible to bring to justice those responsible for the collapse of the liner, as well as to oppose Russia’s actions aimed at destabilizing the situation in the south-east of Ukraine.

Obama his talks with Putin “in the margins” of the summit called “Business and frank.” According to him, the US would prefer to see Russia fully integrated into the world economy, but for this country should adhere to international principles, one of which – “no one should interfere in another country (…), and try to destroy it.” “The positive outcome of the G20 summit was the fact that the EU and the US have made clear Russia, as we respond to the problem,” the Ukrainian crisis, reports Agence France-Presse words Cameron. Merkel urged to continue the dialogue with Russia.

All against one

It is not the fact that behind closed doors the tone of Putin talks with partners was such as this reported in the media, but his early departure, the president only cemented created media painting, says editor in chief of the journal “Russia in Global Affairs” Fyodor Lukyanov. The G20 summit has shown that, despite all the rhetoric, the Russian foreign policy is still based on the relationship with the West. Although the format of the “twenty” truly global, Moscow withdrew on a single theme – Ukraine – and only interlocutor – Western indicates Lukyanov.

In the West, the last summit will be regarded as a fashion defeat Russia, proof of her loneliness on the world stage, believes political analyst Alexei Makarkin. After Russia expelled from the “eight”, officials indicated that the format was “twenty”, which is more productive and promising, but the summit showed that the West for all the differences in the approaches took a consolidated position in relation to Russia and other partners in Moscow in the “twenty”, including the BRICS not willing publicly to quarrel with the United States and other leading countries in the interests of Russia, summarizes Makarkin.

different opinion expert Andrew Sushentsov MGIMO. According to him, judging by the comments and speeches, Putin, Russia was satisfied with the summit, all your tasks fulfilled, leaving Putin should not be considered a demarche, he explained in detail the reasons for, and the reaction of the Western press is secondary in this case.
