EU COMMISSIONER UNHAPPY WITH U.S.
ONLINE GAMBLIKNG ACTIONS
"In my view it is probably a restrictive
practice and we might take it up in another fora," says EU
exec McCreevy
In a rather short report that left questions hanging in the air,
Reuters news service says that U.S. restrictions on online gambling
may be challenged by the European Union.
The report quoted the bloc's top financial regulator, EU Internal
Market Commissioner Charlie McCreevy who told the European Parliament,
"In my view it [the anti-online gambling government activity
in the United States] is probably a restrictive practice and we
might take it up in another fora."
The United States was protecting its own gambling industry by stopping
foreign companies from entering the online betting sector, McCreevy
said.
