GGL says Malta’s Bill No. 55 may conflict with EU rules
Source: GGL (Germany)
Germany’s GGL said Malta’s Bill No. 55 may be incompatible with EU rules on the recognition of judgments, while noting that the final assessment does not fall to the authority. The GGL said it had informed Germany’s states and would take no further action for now because the Federal Ministry of Justice had approached the European Commission. It said the law concerns civil claims by players and that any effect on an operator’s gambling-law reliability would depend on the individual case.
The GGL’s position may affect how German authorities assess operators invoking Malta’s law in individual cases.
