"I welcomed this report. The online gambling sector is growing constantly, to some extent outside the control of the national governments, thus posing risks to consumer protection and bringing dangers associated with organised crime. Although gambling services are subject to a number of EU acts, such as the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, the Distance Selling Directive, the Anti-Money Laundering Directive, the Data Protection Directive, the directive on privacy and electronic communication, and the directive on the common system of value added tax, there has so far been no specific European legislative act in the EU regulating online gambling. As the gambling sector is regulated differently in different Member States, this not only makes it difficult for regulated providers to provide lawful gaming services on a cross-border basis, but also for regulators to protect consumers and combat illegal online gambling. I agree that, in order to protect consumers, especially vulnerable and young players, from the negative aspects of gambling online, the EU needs to adopt common standards for consumer protection and ensure that principles for online gambling are laid down at EU level."@en1
