Competitive French Regulations

The European Commission is in talks with several EU nations that are in violation of EU trade policies concerning the free movement of trades and services related to the online casinos gambling industry. France is one of the ten nations with protectionist legislation in talks with the Commission regarding bringing France into compliance. And although the talks have stalled over the past several months with France, Germany, Greece, and other nations, it looks as though there could be positive changes in the French government. French newspapers have released information that the new French president could open the nation’s online casinos gambling industry to include other EU member-states.

France’s new President seems much more willing to fix the issues surrounding the nation’s exclusionary and protectionist legislation that is currently supporting the French gambling monopoly Francaise des Jeux. The Commission has pressured all of the countries that are in violation to alter discriminatory policy or they will face a referral to the European Court of Justice. It looks as though this could be a turning point for the French online casinos gambling industry although there are no official communications released from either the Commission or the French government itself.

The French press are alluding to the fact that the new President Sarkozy could significantly liberalize the online casinos gambling industry and open up the market to a much more competitive environment. The Commission is adamant that the nations with protectionist legislation begin the steps to pass new legislation that is in compliance with EU policies, and that is where France is at right now – in the initial stages of passing new laws to open the nation’s online gambling industry.
