lpv:translated text	"This report on online gambling in the internal market has come at a time when the online gambling market is growing rapidly. Current figures show that around 10% of all gambling in Europe takes place on the Internet or via comparable distribution channels, with a trend towards growth and a market volume in excess of EUR 10 billion. Given the various cases of fraud in sports betting, which represent a risk to the integrity of sport, it is in the direct interest of all stakeholders – in other words: sports associations, fans, gambling service providers and players – to safeguard the integrity of sport and prevent betting fraud. I therefore voted in support of the concerns of the sector in Portugal, and I agree with the rapporteur’s initial proposals, which better defended the fight against illegal betting and the dangers it causes. The precise amendments tabled subsequently reduce consumer protection, make the world of financial transactions more opaque, and prevent the effective combating of crime and fraud, particularly money laundering. I therefore voted against these amendments."@en1
