"There is a significant supply of, and demand for, online gambling in the EU, and the economic importance of this sector is constantly growing. The online sector is the fastest growing one in the gambling market, representing almost 10% of the overall take from this market.
The challenges posed by the coexistence of various regulatory models has led to the development of significant so-called ‘grey’ and illegal online markets in all the Member States.
This market should be open and sufficient initiatives should be created for companies to offer legal services; a licensing model is the best approach, provided that it is based on the principle of non-discriminatory competition.
An open and regulated market for online gambling presupposes an independent and powerful national regulatory body. Owing to the cross-border nature of the Internet, significant cooperation between national regulatory bodies is therefore essential, so there is a need for institutionalised collaborative arrangements, on the basis of the Internal Market Information system.
It is also important to lay down pan-European minimum standards for safeguarding minors and for combating gambling addiction, but also for combating money laundering and other crimes associated with gambling.
I voted for this report for the above reasons."@en1
