"Drafting EU positions regarding online gambling is very problematic, given its specific nature and the social risks involved, to begin with, because it could serve to increase the already serious problems of addiction to gambling, thereby facilitating access to it, particularly for young people. Even with the precautionary measures suggested in this report, nothing guarantees that access to it will not become easier or that addiction problems will not multiply, particularly amongst young people. In particular, there is a need to take into account the different cultures and traditions of the Member States, specifically in those where there are public entities that control the gambling sector, and profits from it are channelled into social intervention, which is crucial for supporting the most deprived populations; that is the case in Portugal. This should be retained and protected, by ensuring that it is always the Member States that control decision making in this area, taking account of the principle of subsidiarity and sovereignty."@en1
