France maybe applying gambling regulation
April 6, 2008, 7:28 am (3 years ago)Could the French bad approach so far as for gambling be on the way for a positive change? The French newspapers seemed to speculate this week in a report that the Sarkozy administration plans to liberalise the French internet gambling operations by applying a more open regulatory structure.
France started already the talks with the European Commission officials about its protectionist policies and got some warnings from that EU enforcement body as for those matters.
The change in presidency and the open approach could be the trigger for real change to bring France into compliance with EU requirements for the free trade and services between EU member nations and as for the online gambling regulation.
Although the European Commission has not commented on the media reports, speculations notes are that the legislation could take some time to be enacted, What seems for now is that the French monopoly Francaise des Jeux would probably attempt attack and to delay this action for as much as they can.
