As it reports to Thursday DELFI with the reference to the Estonian publication Eesti Ekspress, according to the estimation of European experts, at the moment of the connection of Baltic republic to THE EUROPEAN UNION on the storages of Estonia there were 1350 tons of the surpluses of alcohol. Penalty for the alcoholic beverages can reach to 10-19 Euro- for every one hundred liters. It is thus far accurately unknown, how much what alcoholic beverages are included in list, but supposedly the sum of penalty can be from three to four million crowns.
