A proposed law in Finland regarding alcohol home delivery is sparking debate within Parliament. Deputy Speaker Paula Risikko believes the legislation can proceed without requiring review by the European Union. The Social Affairs and Health Committee recently finalized its report on amendments to the alcohol law, specifically addressing home delivery and distance selling. The committee’s report significantly altered the original government proposal due to support from Päivi Räsänen of the ruling coalition, who sided with the opposition. This unexpected alignment has led to substantial changes in the proposed legislation. The debate centers on the extent of deregulation and potential impacts on alcohol consumption. The amended bill is now subject to further parliamentary consideration.
