Adding many violations related to alcohol and beer in the new Decree on sanctioning administrative violations in the health sector

On September 28, 2020, the Government issued Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP regulating the sanctioning of administrative violations in the health sector, replacing Decree 176/2013/ND-CP (“Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP”).

Accordingly, Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP has added many violations related to alcohol and beer, which were not previously regulated in Decree 176/2013/ND-CP.

Including 8 articles, from Article 30 to Article 37 of Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP, specifically including:

  • Article 30. Violation of regulations on drinking alcohol, beer and places where alcohol or beer is not being consumed
  • Article 31. Violations of regulations on sale and supply of alcohol and beer
  • Article 32. Violations of regulations on alcohol and beer promotion
  • Article 33. Violations of regulations on advertising for alcohol and beer
  • Article 34. Violation of regulations on responsibilities of heads of agencies and organizations in the prevention and control of harmful effects of alcohol and beer
  • Article 35. Violation of regulations on liability of alcohol and beer trading establishments
  • Article 36. Violation of regulations on information, education and communication on the prevention and control of harms from alcohol and beer
  • Article 37. Violations of regulations on sponsorship of alcohol and beer

Thus, we can see that, Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP has added many violations related to alcohol and beer, which were not previously regulated in Decree 176/2013/ND-CP.

Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP takes effect from November 15, 2020.
