"I would like to express my vote in favour of Mr Creutzmann’s report. The online gambling market is in a state of continual growth and its turnover has now exceeded EUR 10 billion. For these reasons, the issue of protecting consumers, specifically those who are weaker and more at risk, is extremely delicate and important. At the same time, we must ensure that the revenue generated for Member States through taxation of online gambling is not curtailed by the worrying presence of illegal gambling games which, other than providing an opportunity to launder enormous sums of illegally obtained money, place less cautious consumers in grave danger. I believe that it is of fundamental importance to ensure that national regulators work in close collaboration with each other. Greater exchange of information across Europe could prevent cases whereby unregulated providers exploit regulatory gaps and play national regulatory bodies off against each other. For this reason, the Commission and the Member States should take immediate steps to protect European consumers from bogus providers."@en1
