The cabinet on Tuesday approved the Finance Ministry's amendment to ministerial regulations regarding the production of traditional liquor for non-commercial purposes and craft beer, ignoring the Move Forward Party's draft Progressive Liquor Bill.
According to government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri, the weekly cabinet meeting approved in principle the draft amendment to ministerial regulations regarding liquor production and annulled the ministerial regulations on liquor production permits from 2017.
The draft amendment calls for new criteria, methods and conditions relating to applications for production permits, he said.
