"Consumer protection is vitally important to all the Member States. This is also an area where cooperation between Member States is desperately needed, particularly from the point of view of cross-border services. This report on online gambling shows that a pragmatic approach, based on cooperation, can ensure that consumer protection is at the heart of European Union policies.
This report recognises that the best approach for dealing with gambling matters on the Internet is to recognise the principle of subsidiarity in this sector and to leave regulatory matters to each individual Member State. That said, the report recognises that it is through cooperation and coordination that European Union Member States will best be able to combat fraud, crimes and social problems.
At the heart of the report is the importance of sport and the need to preserve its integrity and honesty. The social and cultural value of sporting matters must be protected and it must be ensured that sport is not mismanaged for the sake of money or for other similar reasons. Many people in the European Union enjoy online gambling. We must ensure that these people are safe from harm on line."@en1
