Hi,

Some checking has established that not all non-Italian gambling-related entities are hit, certainly within the EU...

Even so, this is still clearly against the EU "esprit-de-corps" that the Italians/French/Germans like to claim that the British (for one) fail to show. It is no wonder that the ECB and the Euro are still seen as puppets of domestic EU politics, and it will need this sort of behaviour to stop before the Euro and Euro-area really grow up. Well, that and removal of highly partisan and restrictive services and employment laws of course! B^>
