"I offer my congratulations on the excellent work carried out by Mr Creutzmann. Member States should work together to tackle the problems of online gambling. Strong cooperation between the Member States and the introduction of common minimum standards or a framework directive are required to confront this issue.
Given the cross-border nature of this activity, it is necessary to coordinate a Europe-wide approach regarding measures to prevent illegal gambling and protect children and vulnerable adults. To fight black market online gambling, we ask Member States to introduce a licensing model to ensure security to gamblers, and to ensure that the national laws under which games operate are respected by those offering these services.
Moreover, the European Commission should examine the possibility of blocking financial transactions between banks and credit card institutions, and gamblers who appear on a blacklist. To protect young people and other vulnerable sections of society, age verification and restrictions on electronic payments before any gambling takes place should be requirements. I believe that a code of conduct for online gambling would be a first step towards stricter regulation."@en1
