The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) will gather to discuss the preliminary draft of their opinion on the European Commission's Green Paper on September 6.
This meeting follows the announcement earlier this year that the European Commission is launching a Green Paper and continent-wide consultation on the online gaming industry. The Green Paper will look at four key policy issues concerning the European online gaming industry. These are the definition and organisation of online gambling services, related services performed and/or used by online gambling services providers, public interest objectives and enforcement.
The aim of the EESC meeting is to canvas opinion on the Commission’s Green Paper as well as to hear the view of stakeholders and interested parties, especially from the lotteries, the gambling sector, the sport industry, but also from the regulators.
The event is to take place at the committee’s Head Quarters at Rue Van Maerlaut 2, 1040 Brussels, with the possible outcome revealing the future direction that the online gambling industry should take in Europe.
