"Currently, 10% of all gambling in Europe takes place online, both over the Internet and using mobile telephones or interactive television platforms. In this context, national regulation is no longer sufficient to provide proper protection for consumers or to effectively deter the operators of illegal or fraudulent gambling. It is therefore necessary to increase cooperation between the national authorities responsible for regulating this sector and to discuss the establishment of common minimum European standards, whilst respecting the principle of subsidiarity. I naturally supported the main points of this report: As regards the ‘right to gamble’, I welcome Parliament’s support for the idea of recognising the property rights of sports event organisers at a European level, as well as the introduction of legally binding agreements between the organisers of sports competitions and the operators. However, I opposed the idea of calling for regulation of spread betting. This type of betting is particularly dangerous for consumers and I should like to retain the option of banning it completely."@en1
