lpv:translated text	"I do not believe that a low excise duty or the absence of an excise duty would increase the volume of contraband. It is precisely the presence of high excise duty rates that makes it possible for contraband to flow in from Eastern countries, where there are no such excise duties and where alcohol is cheap. If we are talking in a broad sense about excise duties for motor fuel and other products, then a reduction in excise rates would help the economy to grow and to be more competitive. The issue I raise is broader; namely, I would ask whether, while we are discussing excise rates for alcohol, we should not give some thought to how the public might be educated to use less of this product? Because at present, there is heavy alcohol use, especially among young people."@en1
