"I am in favour of this report, which considers the growing economic importance of the online gambling industry and through which Members welcome the Commission’s initiative to launch public consultation in connection with its Green Paper on online betting and gambling.
The report indicates that efficient regulation of the online gambling sector must combat illegal gambling by strengthening technical and legal instruments for identifying and penalising illegal operators; guarantee effective protection for gamblers; preclude risks of gambling addiction; guarantee the integrity of sporting competition; ensure that part of the value of bets goes to sports and horse racing bodies; ensure that a considerable proportion of government revenue from gambling is used for publicly beneficial and charitable purposes; and ensure that gaming is kept free from crime, fraud and any form of money laundering.
Although we reject any European legislative act uniformly regulating the entire gambling sector, we nonetheless take the view that, in some areas – given the cross-border nature of online gambling services – there would be clear added value from a coordinated European approach in addition to national regulation. We also believe that a pan-European code of conduct for online gambling should address the rights and obligations of both service providers and consumers."@en1
