Background On 24 May 2008, the Sixty-first World Health Assembly (WHA) adopted an important resolution on "Strategies to reduce the harmful use of alcohol" (WHA61.4). The resolution calls for the development by 2010 of a draft global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol that is based on all available evidence and existing best practices and that addresses relevant policy options. The strategy will be submitted to the Sixty-third World Health Assembly in May 2010 through the 126th session of the WHO Executive Board in January 2010. In addition to the request to develop a draft global strategy, resolution WHA61.4 also asks the WHO Secretariat to collaborate and consult with Member States, as well as to consult with intergovernmental organizations, health professionals, nongovernmental organizations and economic operators on ways they could contribute to reducing harmful use of alcohol. In response to this, the WHO Secretariat has embarked on a broad and inclusive consultation process with different stakeholders. To follow up this latter request, a web-based public hearing was organized by the WHO Secretariat from 1 October to 15 November 2008, giving Member States and other stakeholders an opportunity to make submissions on ways to reduce harmful use of alcohol. In addition, two separate round tables, one with representatives of nongovernmental organizations and health professionals and one with economic operators, were organized in Geneva in November 2008 to collect their views on ways they could contribute to reducing harmful use of alcohol. The Secretariat is planning consultations with selected intergovernmental organizations in 2009. Contributions to the public hearing could be submitted via a dedicated website or by fax in any of the six official UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) from 1 October to 15 November 2008. Contributions were sent in by individuals, civil society groups, WHO Member States and government institutions, academic and research institutions, economic operators and other interested parties. In providing their contribution, the participants were encouraged to focus on the following questions. • What are your views on effective strategies to reduce alcohol-related harm? • From a global perspective, what are the best ways to reduce problems related to harmful use of alcohol? • In what ways can you or your organization contribute to reduce harmful use of alcohol? This report contains received summaries of the submissions received in the WHO Public Hearing. All submissions are presented in their original languages. Some comments in the summary sections may have been edited before posting. This summary of the contributions together with the unedited full text submissions are available on the WHO website www.who.int//substance_abuse/activities/hearing/. In a few cases, no summaries were receveveid, as such they are listed in the summary section with a reference to the full text. All submissions are categorized in one of the following categories: WHO Member States, government institutions, intergovernmental organizations, academia- research, nongovernmental organizations, alcohol industry, trade and agriculture, other entities and organizations or individual submission, depending on the information given by the participants.

Polska jest trzecim producentem Zespół Analiz Sektorowych piwa w UE.

Udział podatku akcyzowego i VAT w cenie detalicznej piwa kształtuje się w granicach 35-37%. Dochody budżetu z akcyzy w 2015 r. wyniosły 3,6 mld zł. W siedmiu spośród 26 średnich i dużych firm wytwarzających piwo dominuje kapitał zagraniczny, ich udział w przychodach ogółem w 2016 r. sięgał 87%, a w zysku netto 93%. Ponad 80% rynku piwa należy do trzech producentów: Kompanii Piwowarskiej (właścicielem jest japońska grupa Asahi), Grupy Żywiec (grupa Heineken) oraz Carlsberg Polska (grupa Carlsberg). Perspektywy krótkoterminowe W krótkiej perspektywie sytuacja branży może się nieco poprawić z uwagi na wzrost wartości sprzedaży pod wpływem spodziewanych wyższych cen piwa oraz wzrostu popytu piwa markowe (efekt lepszej sytuacji gospodarstw domowych). Z drugiej strony wysokie nasycenie rynku i silna konkurencja między browarami będzie czynnikiem ograniczającym wzrost branży. Szanse to tendencja częstszego spożywania posiłków poza domem (podczas których zamawia się piwo), rozwój browarów rzemieślniczych, a także rozwijający się eksport piwa do krajów UE.
