MGA rejects European Commission position on Malta gambling law
The Malta Gaming Authority has responded to the European Commission’s Letter of Formal Notice concerning Article 56A of Malta’s Gaming Act. The MGA says the provision does not create new grounds to refuse recognition or enforcement of judgments, but reflects Malta’s existing public policy and EU law; it said it would continue dialogue with the Maltese government.
The dispute concerns how Article 56A may affect enforcement of judgments involving Malta-licensed gambling companies across the EU.
