Finland: Finland Takes Steps to Ease Alcohol Regulations

The Finnish Government wants to reform its alcohol policy to promote fair and open competition. It is therefore proposing that the alcohol monopoly ALKO and Finnish food retailers can sell alcoholic beverages online and deliver to a location indicated by the buyer. The proposal would equalize the status of domestic operators, in relation to foreign alcohol sellers, since, in the past, it was possible to purchase alcohol for delivery from foreign alcohol sellers, but not from domestic alcohol sellers.
