The “Council” accepts the principles of the Drink and Drink Control Act. Muslim parliamentarians disagree, stressing that the impact on young people should also be taken into account. Because an 8 year old girl already knows how to drink

Dr. Chonnan Srikaew, Minister of Public HealthB explains the reasons for the Cabinet bill: Further principles of amendment The Alcoholic Beverages Control Act 2008 and the repeal of Announcement No. 253 of the Revolutionary Council of 16 November 1972 were: 1.

“The 2008 law has been in force for a long time, to date, for 16 years. Article 77 of the Constitution Provides that the State shall promulgate laws only if necessary and repeal or amend laws that are no longer necessary or inconsistent. It is an obstacle to live life or occupation without delay.To not be a burden to the people and to ensure that people have easy access to the law.Law easy to understand To execute properly and ask the acting minister to verify the adequacy of the law every 5 years that the law is in force or if it is deemed necessary to review it. Therefore, it is appropriate to review the Alcoholic Beverages Act 2008. Therefore, we would like members to accept all the principles. To forward to the agenda 2, there is a committee that looks at the details for eligibility. And the health and economic dimensions need to be balanced,” Dr. Chonnan said.
While Mr Chanin Rungthanakiat List of MPs, Pheu Thai Party Discussion that needs to be discussed with supporters of the public sector. Concerned about alcohol addiction which has consequences including driving while intoxicated, causing accidents which cause considerable damage to society. And it has also extended to the problem of domestic violence. and debt problems Control measures to prevent these problems are therefore necessary and should be considered. Including the sale, purchase and advertising of alcoholic beverages. There is more freedom to reflect economic promotion at community and national levels. Promote tourism and product development in Thailand
sideMr. Taophiphob Limchitrakorn, Bangkok MP, Progressive Party Discuss whether the Cabinet recommendations have been taken up for consideration. Setting criteria for permission to advertise public relations Do various online marketing The opinion of the Cabinet agrees that the determination of any law according to the Constitution shall not affect the dignity and human rights of employment. Too many restrictions on people’s rights This bill already includes restrictions on publicity rights. Confirming that is a very good thing that the Council of Ministers agrees on. And if we compare each body Their organism is the closest to that of the Cabinet. Since advertising can only be aimed at people over the age of 20, advertising cannot be aimed at children. As for the Council of Ministers’ visit to Japan and Korea to promote soju and sake, he agrees The Council of Ministers sending him back is very important. But the Cabinet draft proposal is the opposite.
Mr Taophiphob also stated that the labeling of alcoholic beverages does not have features that encourage consumption. He thought this was an important issue. that the Council of Ministers is of the opinion that the word must not contain a message that invites consumption. It affects consideration by using officials’ discretion which is difficult and unclear and is harmful to people. which he agreed with But in the Cabinet draft, Section 32 says that no one is allowed to display trademarks or logos of liquor products. either directly or indirectly Is this considered discretion? I began to be unsure whether it was the real body of the furniture or not. As for the abolition of the mode of sale of alcoholic beverages It could influence the application of relevant laws. This does not mean that it should not be done: in the case of vending machines, for example, it is necessary to have technologies capable of identifying buyers to control the sale of alcohol to people aged 20 and over. which corresponds to his own body. But in the body of the Cabinet there is none. But if you don’t see anything, it will be considered at the commission level.
However, the majority of participants in the discussion agreed and would accept the principles of this bill. There are only Muslim parliamentarians. Confirm that all 5 principles cannot be accepted, for example Mr. Sukarno Matha, MP from the Festa Pracharat party list Discuss whether this is a representative of a religious leader Representative of the Provincial Islamic Committee Representative of the Pondok educational institution Civil servants living in the southern border provinces There are doubts whether the House will consider this bill. We are talking about proceeds deriving from the alcohol trade. But I never thought about the impact it would have on young people in the future. Since young people who have access to alcohol are only 8 years old, the majority are girls. In particular there is the free exchange of free liquor and he fears that the concerns of fellow citizens who are part of the prevention group could influence the impact of alcoholic beverages in the Lower South. The concern will happen If alcohol is not prevented from entering in family, due to drinking If you lack awareness many problems will arise. including drunk driving, alcoholism and premature death. Loss of efficiency in work The events that happened to him and his Muslim parliamentarians Unable to accept the principles
Dr Chonnan concluded that the government had decided to set up a committee. Study the impact of health dimensions and economic dimensions. To answer what is most appropriate. If the special committee were to take into account opinions or study results it will be useful. As this committee rushes to complete the study within 3 months, it is expected that after the closure of the committee’s judgment, the special committee will carry out its tasks. Before we finalize the draft in July, we would like to thank members for accepting the principles of this legislation.
The assembly then voted to accept all 5 principles with a score of 389 to 9, with 2 abstentions, 1 against, appointing an extraordinary committee of 42 people.
