A Move Forward Party MP said in a Facebook post that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will likely rein in those considering applying for a permit to produce beer and other alcoholic beverages under the new ministerial regulation that came into effect on Wednesday Nov. 2, Matichon newspaper said.

 

Taopiphop Limjittrakorn, Move Forward Party’s MP for Bangkok, said if entrepreneurs thinking of starting a brewery study the new ministerial regulation in detail they will discover that in order to do so they have to pass EIA where a minimum production of 600,000 litres a month, or 7.2 million litres a year, is required for their application to reach the EIA board.

 

He asked what then would those who could only produce 1 to 7 million litres of beer a year do? For wine it is the same, 600,000 litres a month, while liquor is 40,000 litres a month.

I take but what I said the other day that I'm happy to see some sort of compromise as the "small print" seems to have scuppered any chance for new entrepreneurs to set up.

 

As always, big business gets its way.
