The European Gaming and Betting Association has welcomed the publication of the European Commission’s strategy for a digital single market.
The much-anticipated strategy aims at making the European digital framework fit-for-purpose for the 21st century economy.
According to the commission, the digital changes “bring immense opportunities for innovation, growth and jobs. They also raise challenging policy issues for public authorities which require coordinated EU action.”
Maarten Haijer, secretary general of the EGBA, said: “The EGBA fully supports the commission’s political investment in the digital single market.
“The EU online gambling sector is the most competitive in the world and will help create the innovation, growth and jobs that will result from taking away barriers in the internal market. EGBA is looking forward to the concrete legislative proposals that will follow today’s publication.”
