The European Commission has been formally informed by Denmark’s gambling regulator, Spillemyndigheden, of proposed new powers and advertising restrictions pertaining to gambling marketing nationwide.
The EU’s Technical Regulation Information System (TRIS) was used to submit the draft rules on January 13. This initiated a standstill period that allows the Commission and other Member States to evaluate the measures prior to their adoption.
Draft technical regulations must be reported to Brussels by national authorities in accordance with EU law to make sure there are no conflicts with competition law, internal market regulations, or broader EU standards.
