Legislators in France mainly supported the bill, which facilitates the opening of bars in the villages – a step aimed at reviving public life in small rural settlements.
During the voting 156-2 Monday, the deputies decided to weaken strict restrictions on new alcohol sales permits. The bill still needs the Senate permit to become a law.
Proponents say that changes are needed to improve social ties and reduce insulation – but critics warn the health of risk through alcoholism.
France watched a sharp drop from about 200,000 bars and cafes serving alcohol in 1960 to approximately 36,000 by 2015. Most of the closure was in rural areas.
In France, the law requires a license for alcohol 4 to open a bar drinking a bar, including solid perfumes with more than 18% alcohol.
Currently, no new permits can be provided, and those who plan to open the bar must wait for the available drinking place to close to get a license.
The new legislation would allow future heads of bars in settlements with less than 3,500 people and without a bar to request a brand new permit without such an expectation.
Local Mary will have a final word on whether to approve or refuse such requests.
Guillaum Casbarian’s legislator said that “old and outdated legal base” should be replaced, AFP reports.
He also quotes Fabieni and Philip, another French MP, who called the bars as “first of all, the places to gather in a very rural area and in a society where people tend to close themselves.”
The French Ministry of Health claims that every year about 49,000 deaths in the country are caused by alcohol consumption, describing it as “the main issue of public health”.
