"I voted in favour of the report. However, I disagreed with paragraph 44 and voted in favour of the proposal to fund social works from lotteries. The online gambling market is one of the biggest in the EU. There are currently around 15 000 gambling websites. Over 85% are unlicensed, while the annual volume of transactions on this particular market is estimated at EUR 10 billion. The most important thing, however, is that this is, to a large degree, a habit-forming market which puts underage players at risk. Its fragmented operating rules, depending on the national priorities set by each Member State, are giving rise to different legal frameworks and divergent and often contradictory policies are being applied. A market governed by complex and fragmented rules is a market exposed to financial crime and fraud. Recent experience with match fixing proves that. The report is therefore a step in the right direction; it emphasises that match fixing and any action that undermines sport can and must be addressed with more effective measures at European level."@en1
