The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has expressed delight from the recent EU vote in favor of a national standardization for markers of harm.

During a voting session hosted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), a majority of national standardization bodies agreed that such a measure is necessary to further protect the EU population from gambling harm.

Given that EGBA has been pushing for such a standardization for a number of years now, the organization was quick to congratulate all voting parties.

“The positive outcome of this vote is a real testament to the power of collaboration across our sector,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA.
