"The exponential growth of the online gambling market in recent years presents many dangers: addiction, especially among young people, cheating, criminality, the grip of money in sport, and data protection. The Internet cuts across borders, and the subsidiarity principle required rapid reaction from the Union, in close coordination with the Member States. I share the concern of my political family to guarantee the legal security of consumers, the integrity of sport and the enjoyment of the game. I therefore voted in favour of this report, which proposes clear solutions such as sanctioning illegal operators, restricting publicity and redistributing money fairly among sports bodies. However, I am disappointed that our request that horse racing bodies be mentioned separately in order to ensure that they continue to be financially supported at the current level was rejected. However, this is a strategic sector for my region, and it is closely linked to its heritage and to our land. I will remain vigilant to ensure that the interests of horse racing activities are preserved. The protection of our traditions and of all the activities derived from equestrian centres is at stake."@en1
