German Government Unjust
The German government has announced that it has passed legislation that has
effectively banned all private online casinos betting activities that take place
with German citizens. The internet gambling and betting companies are prepared
to fight back against the legislation blatantly defies EU trade policies that
mandate the free flow of services between EU member states. The EU and European
Commission have actively negotiated with the German government to address the
discriminatory online casinos betting policies, but the latest legislation
indicates that the German government is essentially thumbing its nose.
And as much as the Commission is prepared to pursue other means of enforcement,
that process could take years to force the German states to ban the gambling
monopolies, and in the mean time, the online casinos sites are prepared to fight
the government through the German courts.
The new German legislation took place on the first of the year, and most in the
online casinos gambling and betting industries are prepared to fight back
against the blatantly unfair legislation that gives German states to offer
internet betting options, but does not allow other EU companies access to the
market. That just doesn’t sit well with the countries that do follow EU treaties
and are allowing outside competition to affect the country’s online casino
gambling and internet betting operations.
Negotiations with Germany have been ongoing and many in the German online casino
and betting industry and many in the industry did not predict that Germany would
defy the EU treaty that the country previously signed nearly 10 years ago. |
