lpv:translated text	"The Belgian economist, Geert Noels, said gambling is a tax on stupidity. What I would add to that is that gambling is also a source of personal suffering: gambling leads to addiction and debt. The Creutzmann report urges the European Commission to come up with EU rules on online gambling. This scheme is supposed to make gambling transparent and – you will not believe it – even fair. Gambling can never become a fair sport, because providers of gambling services will always make a profit (the house always wins). If we introduce European rules for online gambling, those rules will not result in gambling providers from outside the EU complying with them. These providers will not be bound by EU rules. Although access to such websites within the EU can be limited, I would suggest the easy way out of this situation, namely, recognising that gambling is harmful to gamblers, their families and society, and therefore prohibiting online gambling throughout Europe."@en1
