The spirit of diplomatic compromise is flourishing in Brussels, where the European Union’s competitiveness council recently issued conclusions on the framework for EU gambling legislation that essentially read: “Member states can make their own rules. Well, except when they can’t.”

In the conflict between instincts for pan-EU regulation and individual nations’ independence, the council seems to have come down on the nationalist side, saying that “the need to effectively regulate gambling services requires that member states supervise provision in their territories through regulatory public authorities, established according to national legislation”.

But it also notes that “co-operation between the member states seems required” on issues such as sharing information on operators and consumer protection. The fine line between co-operation and coercion has, it seems, yet to be drawn.
