Brussels, London 9 May 2011: The two major European gambling trade associations, the RGA and EGBA, the European Sports Security Association, along with their partners in the European player associations, EU Athletes and the PPF, have agreed to link their betting education programmes under a single code of conduct. This campaign, which started last year, will span 6 European sporting nations, 4 of the largest EU Member States (UK, Germany, France and Spain), 7 sports and target 8,500 athletes.

Europe Day on 9 May marks the anniversary of the Schuman declaration in 1950, the first step in building the EU. In order to reconcile Europe after World War II, Germany and France’s key resources were shared. 61 years later what is the state of play? A severe crisis is sweeping Europe and its current conservative leadership is unable to respond in a strong and decisive way. When Greece was first attacked by speculators early 2010, conservatives dominating EU institutions watched passively as the play unfolded.
