The European Commission expressed its concerns last week regarding some of its members' online gaming legislation, which require that licensed operators maintain a physical presence in the country.
In the summer, Maltese politician and European Parliament Member David Casa questioned the EU Commission — in a topic titled Remote Gaming Licenses and Its Compatibility with the Fundamental Freedoms on the European Parliament website — as to whether there were compatibility issues between requiring online gaming companies to maintain a presence in a member country with fundamental freedoms.
Can the Commission comment on the compatibility of this provision with the fundamental freedoms?
