On 10 June, 2009, the European Commission published its report on US laws on remote gambling and their enforcement against EU companies. This report was the outcome of an investigation into United States measures affecting foreign suppliers of Internet gambling services. The report concluded that the US measures constitute an obstacle to trade that is inconsistent with WTO rules. As a result, WTO proceedings would be justified. At the same time, the report suggested that the issue should be addressed with the US Administration, with a view to finding a negotiated solution.
