"Some Member States have unilaterally decided to introduce legislation preventing Europeans from using Internet gambling sites run by companies registered in other European Union countries.
This violates the principle of unrestricted movement of services between Member States, as well as Directive 98/34 EC which stipulates that, prior to introducing regulations concerning information technology services, a state must inform all other Member States and the Commission.
Last June, in response to a parliamentary question, I was informed that the matter was the subject of an investigation by the Commission.
May we know the stage this investigation has reached, and whether any measures have been taken?
I agree that it is time this rapidly developing sector were governed by a legal structure that contained standards and regulations governing this service in a serious manner.
These regulations would protect consumers and minors while, at the same time, permitting serious operators to work freely in all Member States of the European Union."@en1
