The Federation Council proposed to develop a system to control the circulation of methanol in Russia

“My proposal, I voiced it (in the government. -

) from the Federation Council - to form an analogue of EGAIS.

There is an EGAIS for ethyl alcohol, it also needs to be done for methanol.

If we don’t do this, then anyway, in one form or another, we will have a leak, theft, counterfeit production, budget losses and human losses, ”TASS quotes Ryabukhin.

According to him, the Russian government has already developed a number of measures to tighten state control over the production and circulation of methanol.

Earlier, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Sholban Kara-ool spoke about the introduction of a bill, according to which for the illegal circulation of alcoholic products, which negligently caused the death of two or more persons, imprisonment of up to 15 years is provided.

State Duma deputy Sultan Khamzaev, head of the Sober Russia project, proposed toughening responsibility for mass deaths caused by counterfeit alcohol.
