Of these 124.8 thousand ended in death. Moreover over the past year their number increased by 13.6.According to the commission most often from low-quality alcohol died in 40 subjects of the country. Including such cases were recorded in the republics of Altai Mari El Chuvashia as well as in the Arkhangelsk Voronezh Kurgan and Leningrad regions.According to experts the share of illegal beer products on the market is estimated at more than 16.The market for illegal brewing products is formed mainly due to the activities of small companies that have the right not to equip their production facilities with automated production volume control meters. Therefore they can produce beer that is not accounted for not pay excise taxes on it - the states losses amount to 30 billion rubles a year control technologies and quality with less strictness - Revaz Yusupov deputy general director of the Central Regional Development Center explained to Izvestia . - The introduction of mandatory labeling will reduce this percentage as has already happened in other industries. This will increase competitiveness and increase the number of bona fide manufacturers. At the same time the introduction of digital labeling will not affect the cost of products.
