"I voted in favour of the report on online gambling in the internal market because it does not advocate deregulation/liberalisation of online gambling. In order to protect consumers effectively, especially young people and vulnerable players, from the downsides of online gambling, the EU needs to adopt common consumer protection standards. In this regard, given the cross-border nature of the Internet, extensive cooperation is required between national regulators. Cooperation in this area between Member States has only been evident hitherto in the form of bilateral procedures.
I think that a pan-European code of conduct is needed for online gambling which should deal with the rights and obligations of both the service providers and consumers. This code of conduct should ensure responsible gambling and a high level of protection for players, especially for minors and other vulnerable people. The code of conduct should also include support mechanisms at both EU and national level for combating cyber crime, fraud and misleading advertising, as well as a set of principles and rules which will provide online gambling consumers with uniform protection throughout the EU."@en1
