The EU condemns Spain
Published:  15 July, 2009

The European Union has condemned Spain for not regulating the lotteries and random combinations and commercial draws which are being developed at the present time. In this regard, the central Administration and the autonomous communities must act immediately to regulate aspects such as the deceptive publicity and the use of lotteries and random combinations for commercial gain, following the sentence by the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg, which has condemned the Spanish State for not transposing the Directive from the European Parliament and the Council dated 11th May 2005 on unfair commercial practices of companies in their relations with the consumers in the internal market.

This sentence once again demonstrates the scant activity of the Sectorial Commission on Gaming. The last meeting held by this Commission was in June 2008 in Barcelona. At that the regulators were in fact urged to adopt measures in respect of the content of the sentence, which was also reiterated at the Cofar Congress, scarcely a month ago.
