New concept for the pálinka distilling

The planned domestic legislation of pálinka distillation envisaged by the government, contradicts the EU law.

According to the plans of the goverment the new regulation would treat pálinka as not an alcoholic beverage, but as a special extraction "product" just like  jam and honey. According to the pálinka distilerres the law was made for political order, and it is not certain that the competents of the EU will accept it – reports Népszabadság Online.
