"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, online gambling is a continually growing market whose turnover has exceeded EUR 10 billion. Currently, responsibility for keeping the gambling market in check lies with individual Member States, but the more delicate question at stake here concerns the proliferation via the Internet of an unregulated black market of considerable dimensions, whose principal protagonists are located in Asia.
The idea that the principle of subsidiarity should be respected at the level of individual Member States remains pivotal, but in order to be able to combat external dangers it is advisable to guarantee coordination across the EU. These dangers relate to protecting not only consumers, but also revenues on the part of Member States which rely upon tax generated by so-called legal gambling.
Another significant point is linked to the difficulty of accurately detecting the identity and age of gamblers on the Internet. The Commission and the Member States must intervene without delay in order to protect European consumers from bogus operators and from the risk of addiction."@en1
