"I voted for regulations on online gambling. Consequently, the key objective being pursued must be to curb significantly this black and grey market. One option to which Member States can resort in order to achieve this objective is a total ban, which would, however, have to be strictly enforced. The principle of subsidiarity leaves it to Member States’ discretion to opt for this solution. An open and regulated online gambling market presupposes the existence of an independent and powerful national regulator, capable of establishing framework conditions for the operation of gambling activities and, above all, of enforcing them. National regulators must therefore have the necessary powers to be able to penalise any infringements and act against illegal operators. I am concerned that the online gambling sector is constantly growing, accounting for 10% of all gambling activities in Europe and generating a total market volume in excess of EUR 10 billion."@en1
