Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law On State Regulation of Methanol and Methanol-Containing Liquids Circulation.
The Federal Law aims to safeguard the health, rights, and legitimate interests of the citizens, as well as the economic interests of the Russian Federation, and to ensure the secure circulation of methanol and methanol-containing liquids.
The Federal Law establishes the legal framework regulating the circulation of methanol and methanol-containing liquids. Specifically, it stipulates that such circulation may only be conducted by organisations and individual entrepreneurs included in the Register of Organisations and Individual Entrepreneurs Engaged in the Circulation of Methanol and Methanol-Containing Liquids. Such Register shall be compiled and maintained within the state industry information system by the federal executive body authorised by the Government of the Russian Federation.
Additionally, the Federal Law bans retail sales of methanol and methanol-containing liquids, distribution of such substances without warning labels on packaging indicating the presence of methanol and its dangers to human life and health, and circulation of methanol or methanol-containing liquids without their mandatory denaturation.
The Federal Law grants the Government of the Russian Federation the necessary authority to enforce these provisions.
