Gambling services represent a multi billion market. Given the legal barriers still in force, this market is still very much fragmented on national as well as regional levels and far from being able to be called an internal market. The Internal Market and Services Commissioner Charlie McGreevy pleads for the enforcement of the freedom to provide services in this market as well. The European Commission had asked the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law to carry out a study into the sector ("Study of Gambling Services in the Internal Market of the European Union"), which was recently published in its final version.
