"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are dealing with an extremely sensitive issue. Firstly, we must take into account cultural traditions, as well as the important sustainable contribution that betting makes to society in some countries, such as mine, through education, culture and sport.
However, we must also fight the criminality associated with gambling and protect consumers, especially the most vulnerable, in order to prevent excessive and pathological gambling. This is why I believe that the principle of active subsidiarity based on cooperation between national governments must take precedence in this field.
Nevertheless, we must be ambitious and focus on developing common regulations and working together in a coordinated fashion against unregulated online gambling operators, which operate without the necessary national licences. We must also ensure transparency and enable non-discriminatory competition that will promote public interest and consumer protection.
Lastly, we must encourage the creation of a network of national organisations to support gambling addicts, which will make it possible to exchange experiences and tried and tested practices."@en1
