		<description><![CDATA[It looks like lawmakers in Germany have finally conceded that their Interstate Treaty on Gambling (&#8220;the Treaty&#8221;), a law that is largely protectionist in nature, has no future. Politicians (state and federal) will be gathering to debate a new approach to regulating online gambling at a conference to be held in Berlin this week titled, &#8216;The Future [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the threat of impending European Commission legal action, it seems the Swedish government has no immediate plans to open its online gambling market end the long standing monopoly of Svenska Spel. That&#8217;s the message from Sweden&#8217;s Minister for Public Administration Ardalan Shekarabi anyway. Speaking via video hook-up at a conference in Stockholm this week, Shekarabi told delegates that opening [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Europe&#8217;s paper tiger is baring its teeth. The European Commission (EC) is taking Sweden to the European Court of Justice in 2 separate cases involving that country&#8217;s online gambling laws. The EC first asked Sweden to change it&#8217;s protectionist online gambling laws back in 2007. In November 2013 they warned that nothing had been done. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Over the next 3 months a working group will be formed charged with the task of proposing a new regulatory framework. It&#8217;s very early days and no details (or hints) as to the scope or timing of changes [&#8230;]]]></description>

In April this year the German government put forward a new draft Treaty that they hoped could be adopted by all 16 German Länder (states). It wasn&#8217;t exactly the [&#8230;]]]></description>

The European Court of Justice (&#8220;ECJ&#8221;) ruled that Germany&#8217;s current practice of trying to ban foreign operators while allowing local betting monopolies to aggressively market their product was a clear violation of EU freedom of services provisions.  The implication of the ruling is [&#8230;]]]></description>
