Deputy Mayor Jaanus Mutli said the draft regulation requires that alcohol be clearly separated from nonalcoholic beverages and other goods in stores.
"Our ideal is for each major store to have a separate alcohol department and for smaller ones, a separate alcohol section, as is already the case in many Tallinn shops," Mutli said.
To give stores adequate time for reorganization, the city government wants to enforce the city council's decree on Sept. 1.
Tallinn has long had problems with foreign volume alcohol buyers from Scandanavia, which has ceased to slow even after a 30% alcohol tax increase early this year.
