European Gambling Regulators to Meet For First TimeReport on Online Gambling in Internal Market Prompts First Meeting of Regulators |
|
European gambling regulators will meet for the first time on February 27 at the behest of the European Commission.
The move was prompted by the publication in November 2011 of the European Parliament’s Report on Online Gambling in the Internal Market.
Sigrid Ligné of the European Gaming & Betting Association welcomed the move saying, “We welcome this first-ever meeting under the Commission’s aegis of Europe’s national gambling regulators and have high expectations of this process. We are calling for the introduction of EU-level rules to safeguard adequate protection for consumers and at the same time ensure fair and transparent licensing conditions for EU operators.
“With the European Court drawing ever-clearer ‘red lines’ for national regulation we have high hopes that rapid progress can and will be made through better cooperation and the development of common EU rules.”
