Spirits fight back
The distilling industry will fight government objections to another cut in alcohol duties this year. Vodka manufacturers said they will "lobby hard" for more reductions and a shift towards EU levels of duty.
In October, the Finance Ministry slashed duties by 30% on the condition that shop prices were also reduced by 20% over six months. The next cut is scheduled for March.
