"In the end, I did not vote for the Creutzmann report on online gambling. In its initial version, it was not very clear, and at times contradictory, as to whether it respected the exclusive authority of the Member States to regulate online gaming, maintain national monopolies, decide how to spend the tax revenue from bets, enact any prohibitions they desire and establish the level of consumer protection. Moreover, it barely said anything about horse race betting, which nevertheless serves to support the equine sector, especially in France, yet it devoted several paragraphs to sports bets and the rights of sports event organisers to the events they run. However, the equine sector, also threatened by Brussels, which is attacking the legitimacy of the VAT rate applied to it, is of great economic and social importance in many rural areas. A little more attention to that activity and its specific issues would have been welcomed. As amended, the report infringes the principle of subsidiarity and no longer even mentions this sector."@en1
