Anticipating future trends and arming ourselves to deal with them is essential to stay on top of the game. Are new games or distribution channels the answer? Multijurisdictional games? Adding new prize categories? With advertising of our products coming under increasing legislative pressure, we need to figure out how then to communicate with the players. The annual London Marketing Seminar, with a line up of experts, will present and discuss these and other relevant cutting edge topics.
FOREWORD DEAR EL MEMBERS, DEAR FRIENDS, We all gathered in June at our Congress in Helsinki, to review what we have achieved in the past two years and to discuss how we should approach the challenges and opportunities we face in the future. I believe our exchange of ideas have been very fruitful, inspired by many outstanding personalities from outside the lottery world who spoke at this event, which our Finnish Member Veikkaus organised in a perfect and innovative way. In Helsinki, our General Assembly also elected a new Executive Committee, a strong and motivated team, which can build on the very good work done by their predecessors. The new Executive Committee already met in July to take some important decisions and to discuss how EL can adapt its services and internal organisation even better to the needs of our Members and the expectations from policy makers and other opinion leaders. Since spring, following the publication of the Green Paper on online gambling and the launch of the stakeholder consultation on it, we have all put much THE EUROPEAN LOTTERIES PRESIDENT Dipl. Ing.

At the same time, EL has been in constant touch with those EU institutions, notably the European Parliament, which will influence the European Commission’s decisions on follow-up initiatives to the Green Paper. In parallel, the financing and the integrity of sport have climbed up the European political agenda: The European Commission’s new strategy on sport, adopted in January, and especially the Council’s three-year work plan on sport, adopted in May, define these two issues, which are extremely relevant MEMBERS OF THE BOARD Mr. Torbjørn ALMLID, Ph.D., President and CEO NORSK TIPPING AS, Norway Dipl.-Kfm.

EL participated in many high-level as well as working-level meetings and shared with Members of the European Parliament, European Commission officials, national governments and other stakeholders, including the IOC and the Council of Europe, its expertise on these topics. As regards the financing of sport, the more than two billion EUR our Members contribute each year add much weight to what we say. As regards the protection of the integrity of sports events from manipulations linked to betting, the lead we have taken in this area, which we will extend through the implementation of our unanimously adopted Helsinki Resolution, meets great recognition. All this shows that we are on the right track. With the same high level of commitment by our offices in Brussels and Lausanne, our Committees and Working groups, our Legal Advisors and you, the Members, I am confident that, at our next Congress in Tel Aviv, we will be looking back to another two years of good work to the benefit of the Association and its Members.
