(Gibraltar).- Gibraltar MEP Ashley Fox has called for a more harmonious approach to online gambling across the EU, with the implementation of an i-gaming framework that emulates his territory's. “Gibraltar is host to a highly respected, European-focused online gambling industry, with high consumer safety standards and world-leading online gambling brands,” he said.
“Licences are restricted to operators of high quality and reputation,” added Fox in an article for TheParliament.com.
Discussing the cross-border nature of the i-gaming industry, Fox added: “Greater EU co-operation will also improve consumer protection, help prevent money laundering and match fixing, and provide a forum for sharing best practice. I would also like to see the European Commission make progress with infringement cases that have been stalled for a number of years. For an effective single market, national regulatory frameworks must comply with EU law.”
