Regulation of marketing of alcoholic beverages in Finland and Sweden,<br />

especially the requirements on fair practice and moderation<br />

Abstract<br />

In this research the alcohol legislation is dealt with, and especially the regulation<br />

on marketing of alcoholic beverages as a part of a preventive alcohol policy.<br />

More particularly it is the requirement on fair practice in the Finnish 33 § AL<br />

and Swedish 11a § AL and the requirement on special moderation in 8 § AL<br />

when marketing alcoholic beverages to consumers that are under scrutiny. The<br />

general regulations on fair practice in marketing in Finnish CPL and Swedish<br />

ML, which affect the marketing of alcoholic beverages, are naturally a part of the<br />

scrutiny. The influence of the membership in the EU on the shaping of the legislation<br />

on marketing of alcoholic beverages has also a central part in the research.<br />

A substantial part of the research constitutes<br />

– a scrutiny of justifications why the regulation on marketing of alcoholic beverages<br />

shall be included in the alcohol legislation as a part of a preventive alcohol<br />

policy,<br />

– the purposes or intentions with the need of the regulation, and<br />

– the assumptions on the effects of the regulations on marketing of alcoholic<br />

beverages on the consumers and the society at large.<br />

According to the research it has been seen as a deficiency in the Finnish and<br />

Swedish regulation of marketing of alcoholic beverages that the aim with the<br />

regulation is not clearly outspoken in connection with the general rules of marketing.<br />

It can be a challenge for the legislators to create general lines of development<br />

for marketing of alcohol on the basis of the existing legislation and to<br />

evaluate the marketing in the context where it is performed.<br />

Keywords<br />

Marketing of alcoholic beverages, fair practice, moderation<br />
