The Ministry of wellness intends to order the issue of selling alcohol online. This is simply a consequence to the legal chaos in which there are interest shops present – frequently on the border of legality. What circumstantial changes will come into force?
She wants online purchases to be taken personally – she stated "Rzeczpospolita".
As we read in Wednesday's "Rz", "changes in online alcohol sales are necessary, due to the fact that present in the regulations there is no request to look for clear guidelines - said experts, whose paper asked for an assessment of the idea, which we have established, the wellness department is working on".
The editorial notes that "the regulations of the law on raising specified a form of sales in sobriety theoretically do not prohibit, but many commentators are of the opinion that interpreting them on a principle: +skoro something is not prohibited, it is allowed+, is contrary to the nonsubjective in which the said bill was adopted". In addition, "these recipes were created at a time erstwhile no 1 had always dreamed that everyone would be able to order jump drinks online."
"Rz" points out that according to attorneys Arkadiusz Szczudło and Maria Formowicz from Creativa Legal "now entrepreneurs in the field of specified sales de facto operate in the grey legal area". In their opinion, the verdict of the ultimate Administrative Court of 2022 was a breakthrough, in which he ruled that "the net is simply a communication tool, not a place of sale, so traders with permits can operate there without hindrance".
As the diary says, in practice any companies already apply solutions akin to MZ's proposals, "but without clear regulations, and each step unfortunately involves the hazard of losing permits".
He adds that "resort proposals can end this uncertainty". Lawyers estimation that "we will yet know whether the online sale of alcohol is legal, and if so, on what terms." (PAP)
