"I firmly believe that an open and regulated market for online gambling presupposes an independent and powerful national regulatory body. Such a body must determine and, above all, also be able to enforce, the environment for gambling. National regulators must therefore be given the necessary powers to penalise infringements and act against illegal providers. Given the cross-border nature of the Internet, however, Member States alone are not in a position to regulate all areas of online gambling. Very close cooperation between national regulatory bodies is therefore essential. To date, collaboration has been on a small scale, for example, through bilateral procedures. What is needed, however, are institutionalised collaborative arrangements, for example, on the basis of the Internal Market Information system, in order to share information efficiently and quickly. Only through a common European approach can unregulated providers be prevented from exploiting regulatory gaps and playing national regulatory bodies off against each other. The challenge for the Commission and the Member States is to act quickly, therefore, in order to safeguard consumers in Europe against untrustworthy providers."@en1
