"Madam President, Commissioner, as rapporteur for the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), I think that this is a very good document, a compromise text with a controlled system for the opening up of the online gambling sector. ‘Controlled’ means that regulation must be at national level and cooperation at European level. That is to say, not applying the principle of mutual recognition in a sector and market that are different from others, namely online gambling, and, at the same time, complying with the principle of active subsidiarity, thereby also increasing and strengthening cooperation between national regulators.
We recognise that a European approach is needed for a number of areas, notably for anti-fraud measures, the protection of minors and combating illegal operators and addiction.
Finally, it is also important that the integrity of sport is addressed, in order to ensure the equitable distribution of revenues generated. In this regard, I asked for and obtained the mention of betting rights, a type of property rights for the organisers of sports events which can be enforced with regard to online betting operators. These rights would safeguard financial revenues for sports providers and thus avoid the increased risk of corruption or fraud in sport.
This strategy clearly fits into the social market economy that you are championing, Commissioner."@en1
