the first half of 2009, penciled concern Ukrspirt, revealed: fever of domestic alcohol industry is not willing to subside, despite the emergency measures taken by the authorities, and by spirtovikami. Thus, even at the end of 2008, the Government has tried to create a new group on the basis of public service with extensive powers. And although the authorities refused to own the ideas, the leadership Ukrspirta still managed to slightly expand its powers and, in particular, have the right to consolidate in the hands of the wholesale trade in alcohol, and later - and a license to export their own products.
By the way, the leadership Ukrspirta in March 2009, announced an unprecedented concern for the measure - the closure of 33 loss-making enterprises of the industry. Such drastic steps were due to a desire to optimize the balance between production and financial performance (for example, in 2008, 67.83% of the profits of the group to provide all 10 of the 76 domestic spirtozavodov). To complete the remaining load capacity after optimization experts group, together with the Ukrainian lawmakers have initiated the adoption of the Parliament of the Law number 1391 dated 21.05.09, on stimulating the production of biological fuels.
Nevertheless, the production of alcohol by some of the group were disproportionate embedded in the settlement efforts of the industry - compared to the first half of 2008 alcohol production in Ukraine in January - June this year dropped by 561 tys.dal.
   Â
And, as experts say, the result of the second half of 2009 spirtoviki are likely to find it just fine. The point is that, in preparation for raising rates of excise duty, which 01.07.09 was 34 grn. /L 100% alcohol-tion, operators of market Liquors (LVI) sharply increase the production of sorokagradusnoy and, accordingly, orders for raw materials spirtozavodah in May-June 2009, in particular, in the first half of this year, production of LVI in Ukraine amounted to 30.9 million made (in January - June 2008 - gave 28.57 million), while the production itself vodka, compared to the first half of last year grew by 44% to 24.1 million dal. In other words, vodochniki stockpile the product and in the second half of 2009, and now the demand for alcohol in Ukraine reduced sharply. Of course, drew the attention of the fact that the production of vodka increased by a reduction of the production of alcohol. However spirtoviki explain this further redistribution of the flow of alcohol to the technical requirements for the alcohol industry. While some experts see this trend to an increase in the shadow of.
Suggestions spirtovikov
says Boris Franziska, the deputy chairman of the Ukrspirt Concern is not inclined to dramatize the variations in output. Industry, he said, produces so much alcohol, but may sell alcoholic beverages - above is not prygnesh. Another point is that the imperfection of the existing legal framework has meant that now 96% of Ukraine in the alcohol used for the alcohol industry. Even in 2008, according to the Ukrainian Trade and Industry Confederation, the producers of alcohol bought 87,4% of domestic spirits, as, for example, in 2003 the share of alkogolschikov in the total consumption of alcohol was only 51%. Meanwhile, said Mr. Franziska, for example, in Western Europe, there is an inverse proportion - alcohol is mainly devoted to the production of means of household chemicals and biofuels. In Ukraine, the production of alcohol for technical needs actually blocked the existing excise the law (in the legal framework, there is no mechanism exempting technical spirits from the payment of excise duty).
As a result of alcohol use for something other than vodka loses any economic sense. However, in Ukrspirte recognize that the exemption from payment of excise duty of alcohol may lead to its use for illegal vodka. In the Group has offered to make all regulations governing the circulation of alcohol, the denaturation of the binding of raw materials for technical purposes, which would make it unfit for use in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages.
first such step, according to Eldar Selimova, Head of Press Service of the group, you can take some of the provisions of the Act has number 1391, allowing for storage and transportation of ethanol only in the case of denaturation of its gasoline. However, it is noteworthy that a similar wording does not necessarily follow that bioethanol should denature at the production stage, which in itself opens a space for the imagination tenevikov. In addition, according to experts of the group, full load power spirtozavodov can help their proposed changes to the law On amending some laws of Ukraine concerning the prevention of negative consequences of the impact of the global financial crisis on the development of agro-industrial complex. They were made on prohibited transactions with the foreign economic relations for the product groups 1-24 UKT VED (food and raw materials).
According to Boris
Franziska, such operations may well be to allow for non-residents (customers) in the case of procurement of Ukrainian grain processing on spirtozavodah and subject to export control binding obtained alcohol abroad. But he categorically rejected the idea of privatization of alcohol industry (or Denationalization production of alcohol) as possible ways to solve the accumulated problems. Franziska said that the stumbling block here would be a complete lack of regulatory framework in the Ukrainian part of the control and administration of excise duty to work in new conditions. Otherwise, same as the expert considers, hypothetically, the industry could go into private hands and under the current system of state regulation.
Position vodochnikov
However, in view of the alcohol market, the existing regulatory framework does not work too well and is in a state monopoly on the production and distribution of alcohol. Ivan Zholner, director of the Association Ukrvodka, explains: The distribution of alcohol being the central organ of executive power authorized by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. According to the decree number 1266 of the Cabinet of Ministers of 29.08.02, alcohol consumers released under orders to draw up STAU by the State Department raznaryadok food. In turn, raznaryadki drawn up by copies of certificates of tax authority at the place of registration of the manufacturer on the amount and purpose of the use of alcohol. In addition, a manufacturer of alcohol necessarily enter into contracts with consumers for its delivery, including its terms and conditions and submit one copy of their concern Ukrspirt for approval of production and consumption of alcohol. As you can see, since the registration of the contract and to get clothes, alcoholic beverages have to run. There is a need to simplify this procedure, - Ivan Zholner stresses.
And in that belief, he is not alone. At excessive, nothing, in fact, not justified bureaucratization of procedure of the state control over the alcohol industry complains and Oleg Zhugin, general director of Altera groups: A lot of time taking paperwork in passing at all levels - from Ukrspirta to STAU. A lot of approvals, signatures and documents to slow procurement of alcohol, which in fact could be fraught with production downtime. Actually, described the cumbersome licensing procedure established by the unhealthy competition of two government agencies - STAU and MinAP - for control of trafficking in alcohol.
It is clear that, sooner or later it will have to change if only because it has been shown to, does not guarantee the absence of the illegal trafficking of alcohol. In Ukrvodke, for example, offer to begin to move to a simpler scheme of passing the purchaser of alcohol through the permitting authority (in fact, while maintaining control of himself). For example, to design clothes you can make a tax administration agreement with spirtozavodom and a certificate from the tax authority on the amount and purpose of the use of alcohol, and ideally - any escape procedures and orders go to alcoholic direct contracts the seller - the buyer.
However, in this case the barrier will become the base current version of Law number 481 dated 19.12.95 On state regulation of production and turnover of ethyl alcohol … which, according to the very same Ukrspirta confused the notion of implementing production by alcohol and wholesale product.
As a result of discrepancies spirtozavodam to conclude direct contracts the seller - the buyer is required license for wholesale trade in alcohol cost of 500 thousand. per year. Last autumn, STAU fined on 511 million UAH. 10 spirtozavodov Ternopil region for the implementation of alcohol within its own production (although the entire procedure, control, and so was fully respected). It took the intervention agropolitiki Minister Yuriy Melnyk and people's deputies and a long trial, during which the ruling of the sanctions were lifted.
Realization of alcohol spirtozavodami in the domestic market was identified as a tax offense. But, according to Article 1 of Law number 481, the shipment of alcohol manufacturer not included in the concept of wholesale trade. Mixed interpretation of the situation and led to the dispute in court, - explains Eldar Selim. Unfortunately, the bills providing for the right spirtozavodov (and indeed all producers of alcoholic beverages and raw materials for them) bezlitsenzionno to release the goods to wholesale customers through its own production, has registered in the parliament, but none of them have not been approved. The result: the producers of alcoholic beverages have to cooperate with a single monopolist in the wholesale market of alcohol. Previously, this function performed Kyiv Regional Alcohol Industry Association ( Kievspirt), and after the elimination of regional associations of one wholesaler serves directly concern Ukrspirt. However, it seems, from the change master wholesaler vodochnikam not easier. As noted by Oleg Zhugin, current monopolization and its concomitant price policy is completely contrary to the principles of market economy, and demand immediate reform.
However, vodochnikov ideas about reforming the alcohol market does not stop there. Gennadij Vasyukov, Director of Legal Affairs, LLC ЛВЗ Khortytsya, BUSINESS told that July 17, 2009 came into force MinAP order number 264 dated 13.04.09 About the instructions for receiving, storage, sale, transportation and accounting ethyl alcohol (hereinafter - Regulations). It is, incidentally, have replaced the Federal instruction Minpischeproma USSR from 25.09.85 in Ah, but the new instructions, only corrects some of the processes for receiving, sales, storage, accounting and transportation of alcohol. In fact, it was only a translation of an old document from Russian into Ukrainian, with some clarifications , - complains Vasyukov.
The only novelty
Instructions deserving, he said, attention is the provision for the introduction to spirtozavodah electronic metering products with fixed data is in electronic form. This will help minimize the impact of human factors on the results of measurements and greatly reduce the laborious process of measurement. According to experts, an electronic record makes it possible to completely eliminate the probability of production unaccounted alcohol, in real time to obtain information on the production and movement of alcohol and, therefore, creates the conditions for the most accurate prediction of future excise tax payments.
In addition, such a system of permits to eliminate the tax office whose work is a lot of criticism and from the producers of alcohol, and spirtovikov, and most STAU. Now, according to the Ukrspirta, E-fixing introduced only in the SE Marilivsky alcohol plant and SE Dovzhotsky spirtozavod. According to the group, the introduction of electronic recording of alcohol at all existing plants requires an additional 30 million UAH. However, in this year's state budget provided funding for these works. Concern turned to the Ministry of Finance requested but was refused, and the recommendation of the Finance Ministry to resolve the issue at their own expense Ukrspirta. In this context alcohol Company has once again reminded that effectively and quickly deal with these (and, by and large, minor) problem can only private enterprise. But the issue of privatization of alcohol industry has once again postponed bait.

At the briefing, the Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, who on 3 August 2009, it was announced the Government's decision to give Russia 30%-Term indexing excise tax rates on ethanol (currently - 191 rub. /l 100% alcohol-tion ). As was reported on 6 August, instead of the Russian authorities are planning to make 20%-ing indexation rates and quotas leave alcohol, alcoholic products. In particular, the option, under which producers will receive a special permit to purchase alcohol. Each of them will be obliged to immediately transfer to the budget of excise duty on the entire received alcohol or a bank guarantee for this amount (ie avalirovanny bill). The measures of strict control, in the opinion of the Russian government, will help legalize the market for alcohol, and will contribute to filling the budget. Experts point out that Russia already had such a quota system, but because it was considered corrupt, it replaced the existing accounting system EGAIS.
However, on the alcohol market it did not have a positive influence, and in 2008, according to the Center's research on federal and regional markets for alcohol RF shadow of vodka production in Russia amounted to 70 million gave the (legal - has given 120 million). In fact, if these plans become a reality in Russia will be recreated the Ukrainian equivalent of current regulationof alcohol.
