By KYIV. Jan 23 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Cabinet of Ministers approved the form for the declaration of compliance of the material and technical base of small-sized distillate production with the requirements of the law and determined the procedure for its submission and registration.
Resolution No. 56 of January 19, 2024 was published on the website of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food.
According to the document, small-sized producers of distillates will be able to submit a declaration of compliance of the material and technical base with legal requirements to the territorial bodies of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection. Instead of a production certificate, they will be able to use the declaration of conformity of the material and technical base registered by the State Food and Consumer Service to obtain licenses for the production of alcohol distillates and alcoholic beverages, which will significantly simplify this procedure.
The adopted innovations will ensure the development of the market for alcoholic distillates and alcoholic beverages, stimulate the development and legalization of small-sized businesses, and contribute to the creation of new jobs, particularly in rural areas.
