Despite complaints of officials that trading stalls and tents in any way do not paint our city, those all the same grow as mushrooms. After all any permission for their installation it is not necessary to receive, and here to dismantle them, the judgement is necessary for guards. But the greatest problem that businessmen establish shops near schools where children can easy get both beer, and cigarettes.
- We have spent spot-check on the booths trading in cigarettes and beer near schools of a city. Such it has appeared 115! - the director of department of the consumer market and sphere of services of the City Council Alexander Doroshenko is indignant. - it is final, anything from listed in the stalls located more close of 300 metres to schools, should not be.
It is no wonder that in all checked up booths located approximately in 150 metres from schools, it has not appeared neither accompanying documents on the goods, nor quality certificates, even «booth accessories».
- And there should be a signboard on which it is specified: whose is a shop, time of its work, and also the permission to its work, - Alexander Ivanovich has told.
Basically live ларечки at the expense of sale of alcohol, the cigarettes, the packed up meal and even … playing cards! An electricity spend from tenants of the next houses for «a moderate payment» and round the clock meet minor clients.
- We have imposed penalties at a rate of 1000 grivnas on owners of shops though, of course, they beat off this money for a day. Also on all owners of 115 stalls we have submitted claims to courts on a pulling down, now we wait for their decision, - Alexander Doroshenko has added.
Unfortunately, to officials to take down such stalls it is independently forbidden, even having secured with the help of militia. Therefore it is necessary to wait only for a decision of the courts though in a case with trade in alcohol near schools is better would be to do without red tape and at once to dismantle booths.

Europe under the threat of contraband of cigarettes from Ukraine
Most likely, in the near future the share of illicit cigarettes from Ukraine in the European markets aloud will grow up.
Yesterday the President of Ukraine has put a veto for the law, raising excise rates on tobacco products. The European Union has opposite changed the excise policy, now excise rates in the countries of Europe will be increased till 2014-2018. The Ukrainian state customs says that volumes of contraband of cigarettes will sharply grow from Ukraine, manufacturers and distributors of tobacco consider that the special increase in volume of contraband will not be.
The law, ветированный the president, provided serious increase of excise rates. It was expected that the rise in prices for cigarettes in a retail network will reach 40 %. Practically there were no doubts that Victor Yushchenko will approve the law, since all previous similar bills met its unequivocal support. However this time the president nevertheless used the veto. Most likely, the fear of that sharp increase in excises will seriously reduce local manufacture and will increase quantity of contraband from Russia and Moldova, has served its purpose. Besides curtailment of production and shares of legal cigarettes in the market inevitably would lead to that deductions in the state budget gradually would become ever less.
According to the President of Ukraine, the Supreme Rada has broken the Budgetary code which provides impossibility of change of rates of taxes if prior to the beginning of a fiscal year remains less than 6 months. Thus, opinion of the President the unequivocal: while it is necessary to refuse such high excise rates.
Representatives of the tobacco companies confirm: the offered law would lead to sharp increase in trade in illegal tobacco production, to reduction of the legal market and, accordingly, to reduction of receipts in the budget. Given associations "Укртютюн" testify that this year in the country falling of manufacture and without that has made 13,7 %.
Let's remind that the day before yesterday (on November, 10th, 2009) the European Union Ministerial council on economy and the finance has made the decision on change of an excise policy. Since 2014 in the European Union countries the excise will increase about 64 euros for one thousand pieces to 90 euros for one thousand pieces, the excise on a retail price will grow from 57 % to 60 %. For some countries the excise in which has not reached current level of excise rates in EU, the transition period during which excises should reach the specified figures will be created. Till 2018 the transition period will be resolved for Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Estonia. The European Union tax laws are constructed in such a manner that of 8 countries to which the transition period is given, probably, will establish an interdiction for import of cigarettes over 300 pieces on the person.
From the beginning of 2011 the excise rate will increase by tobacco, from now on its size also there will be 40 euros for kg, this excise loading will increase for buyers cost of cigarettes by 40 %. According to plan by 2020 the excise will grow to 60 euros for kg that means rise in price of retail production on 50 %.
The main customs officer of Ukraine Anatoly Makarenko already did not so long ago statements that Ukraine actively imports illegal cigarettes into the EU countries. After events on November, 10th the source from the State customs has confirmed forecasts for contraband increase, after all with increase of the duty EU market turns to the super-favourable. The contraband most part passes to Europe through a line of border with Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania. The basic part of illicit tobacco gets on the markets of these countries, but big enough parties are forwarded further to Europe. The price for a pack of cigarettes aloud grows with advancement on the West, and transportation of cigarettes at all is not a problem – after all borders in the European Union are opened.
Growth of illicit deliveries is not favourable to manufacturers, after all the tobacco companies, as a rule, are transnational. Experts inform that some the tobacco companies, whose representations work in Ukraine, have already signed the agreement with the European Union on which occurrence in the European countries of illicit production will automatically mean the penalty for the owner of this or that tobacco mark.

School board backs plan for smoking in movies
Films are designed for young audiences, should not take any smoking, according to the American Medical Asso CIA Chion alliance of national campaigns.
Denton School Board now backs that push.
Recently, members of the school board unanimously approved a resolution for submission to the Texas Association of School Boards that supported giving the R rating most movies with tobacco use in any scene.
The agenda item was introduced by school board member Mia Price, who recently completed her term as president of the Texas Medical Association Alliance, the organization of volunteer work of spouses of physicians.
"This is really good, good initiative," said Price, adding that she supports him "unequivocally".
National Association of School Boards have supported the resolution, said the price, and if enough organizations get on board, he can have a significant impact on the film industry.
More than 50 organizations endorsed the "filter"! Campaign, and National Medical Alliance is still in favor of more teams and their parents to participate, "said Melissa Walthers, project coordinator.
Push The alliance, which began in 2006, is only part of what is happening in the country, said Walthers.
There are other national campaign asking the same solutions, such as the Smoke Free Movies campaign, supported by groups numbering hundreds, "she said.
Giving R rating the film due to smoking "a little tough," said Ben Levin, professor and director of postgraduate studies at the University of North Texas' Department of Radio, Television and Film.
When smoking is absolutely no relationship to history, the alliance may be a point, he said, but added that he would hate to see any restrictions on the artistic work of the director.
Levin asked who would judge whether smoking in the film artistically appropriate.
PG rating means parental guidance is needed, and when parents are measuring whether the film is suitable for their child, smoking may be something they feel, "he said.
Some films will not be affected by this proposal.
Exceptions will be "in the presentation of tobacco clearly and unambiguously reflects the dangers and consequences of tobacco consumption and is necessary for the submission of smoking a real historical figure," according to literature released National Medical Alliance.
For example, Walthers said, the historical film about Winston Churchill or a movie scene of people with emphysema smoking on his deathbed, will be exempt from the proposed rule evaluation.
Walthers said, the American Medical Association Alliance just wants to stop the glamorization of smoking in movies aimed at teenagers and young children.
Alliance sent out about 2000 letters to six major studios of the media, as well as the Motion Picture Association of America, the trade association responsible for the American system of movie ratings.
The campaign also calls on the three other changes to the Amer I films:
* What movie producers certify that none of them regard the material used in tobacco in movies,
* With a strong anti-tobacco advertisement should be shown before the movie, which shows smoking
* What tobacco brands should not be defined in the cinema.
This initiative is "going to protect children from the collection of this deadly addiction," said Walthers.
Tobacco is the number 1 cause of preventable death in the United States, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Alliance refers to several studies that indicate children are more aware of tobacco on screen, than young people, and those that are most vulnerable to it in the movies is almost three times more likely to take up smoking.
MPAA, announced in 2007 that it would consider smoking, in addition to sex, violence and adult language when rating movies.
The Alliance pointed to the test, say children's exposure to tobacco in movies, remains unchanged.
"Our biggest success is the public to actually see in this issue of children's health," said Walthers.
The initiative will not run in the opposite R rating for films that have already appreciated, "she said.
