A spokesperson for the European Union internal market commissioner told the Finnish News Agency that the Commssion will return on the Finnish betting monopoly case in December.
Elsewhere, Austria\’s Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser said he would like to see more Austrian online bookmakers adhere to stricter regulations.
Responding to the European Commission\’s announcement that it is to launch an infringement procedure against the country, Grasser downplayed suggestions that Austria is operating a betting monopoly.
“Many European and worldwide providers offer gambling and betting in Austria via the Internet. So the question presents itself – what makes a monopoly in this sector, a sector where there is worldwide competition on the Internet?”
