It is proposed to amend the Alcohol Act.

By legislation, the retail sale of alcoholic beverages is partly only allowed for the government-owned alcohol company and partly allowed for operators with a retail licence. The requirements for granting such a licence are non-discriminatory and would not be amended by the Proposal. The Proposal would allow the supply of alcoholic beverages to the recipient at a location chosen by the recipient by means of a special licence for the supply of alcoholic beverages, i.e. the proposal would enable the transport and delivery of alcoholic beverages to a purchaser. Under the present law, alcohol could only be supplied to the purchaser at a licensed retail outlet or on licensed premises.
