"Out of 14 823 active gambling sites in Europe, more than 85% are operated without any licence; strict legislation should therefore be introduced to regulate online gambling. I support this report and welcome its recognition that gambling can potentially harm, and that online gambling may involve greater risks such as addiction, fraud, scams and under-age gambling. I welcome the calls for the promotion of responsible gambling and the protection of minors and vulnerable groups. I welcome the proposals for a new Gambling Bill in Ireland, providing for the licensing of online services as part of a major reform of the gambling laws. Although I voted against paragraph 20, I acknowledge and support the right of Member States to draw on a wide variety of measures against illegal gambling, and I support measures to increase the efficiency of the fight against illegal online gambling. However, since there is no European legislative act regulating online gambling, the amendment could be seen as counter to the principle of subsidiarity as well as the principles of the single market, since it implies that an online gambling undertaking in one Member State may have to close if its activities are illegal in another Member State."@en1
