Letter of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being No. 0100/3835-06-23 of April 4, 2006 on the Import and Sale of Alcoholic Products
Reports that during the checks carried out by the territorial departments of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being in the subjects of the Russian Federation in the framework of the measures to enhance enforcement of circulation of alcoholic products, large volumes of alcoholic products from the Republics of Moldova and Georgia are revealed that fail to comply with the requirements of the state sanitary and epidemiological rules and normatives pertaining to safety of alcoholic products and wine materials. The failure to comply with specified requirements is revealed not only in wines and wine materials, but also in cognacs and sparkling wines made in the mentioned republics.
In a number of cases, the mentioned products are released for free circulation by the customs bodies and provided with sanitary and epidemiological statements issued by chief state sanitary physicians of institutions, structural divisions of the authorised federal bodies of executive power. An impermissible practice has been revealed to use hygienic statements issued by sanitary and epidemiological services of other states as a final document serving as grounds for the customs bodies to take the decision to import the products to the territory of the Russian Federation and draw up certificates of compliance on their basis.
In view of the above, the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being suspends from April 5, 2006 all issued sanitary and epidemiological statements for cognacs, wine (including sparkling wines) and wine materials imported to the territory of the Russian Federation from Moldova and Georgia if made on the territory of the mentioned republics.
