Vedomosti writes about this, citing the chairman of the board of directors of Abrau-Durso Pavel Titov and the former general director of the Sevastopol winery Alexei Akchurin.
The re-issuance of licenses for producers and sellers of alcoholic products in Crimea according to a simplified scheme is almost complete. From March 25 to April 3, 135 licenses (129 of them production licenses) were issued to 54 organizations, a RAR representative told Vedomosti. No state duty was charged, and no checks were carried out on market participants. Documents are reissued while maintaining the validity period specified in previously issued licenses, he added.
However, all newly obtained licenses must connect to the Unified State Automated Information System for recording the volume of production and turnover of ethyl alcohol and alcoholic products) before January 1, 2015.
If they do not connect by this time, their licenses will not be taken away, but they will not be able to ship the products, says Mikhail Shtyrlin, general director of the Legend of Crimea winemaking company.
According to Russian legislation, the state duty for wine production is 500 rubles. It is issued, as a rule, for 000 years. The EGAIS complex costs about 5 rubles. But hiring EGAIS specialists and maintenance costs much more: installing a secure communication channel, software, and much more.
Now Crimean winemakers are asking to extend the transition period until January 1, 2017.
According to the association “Growers and Winemakers of Ukraine”, there are 44 wineries located in Crimea. According to the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, in 2013, the total volume of wine produced in Crimea was at least 9,3 million deciliters.
