London/Munich/Zurich, January 5, 2010 – Currently, the French liberalisation plans are probably getting most of the industry’s attention. But in the background, at times almost neglected, several other countries, such as Switzerland, are setting about liberalising parts of their gambling market. Switzerland heads for market liberalisation even though there is no pressure from external parties, such as the European Commission or the WTO. This is a unique situation and makes Switzerland a potential role model for other non-EU markets (e.g., US).
