OBS_VALUE: Alcohol: The Alcohol Act (1102/2017) or related decrees do not prescribe a specific format for applications. The licensing authority with regard to retail sale (Regional State Administrative Agency) does not rule out electronic applications (by email) in its instructions. The licensing authority with regard to wholesale (National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health) explicitly allows applications to be submitted electronically (by email; see https://www.valvira.fi/web/en/alcohol/wholesale_of_alcohol/applying-for-a-wholesale-licence-for-alcoholic-beverages).
