Workshops<br />
After a great evening organised by our<br />
host, opening with a nice tour disclosing<br />
us the charm of the city of Porto and ending<br />
with a famous Port cellar visit with a<br />
nice dinner, the seminar continued for<br />
the usual second (half) day.<br />
This second day started with an excellent<br />
and detailed presentation by Anne<br />
Pattberg of Camelot on the EL CSR approach<br />
and certification. The presentation<br />
did prove that EL and its members<br />
do spend a substantial amount of time<br />
and resources to find a proper framework<br />
for one of the key issues addressed in the<br />
EU legal debate. A lively debate took<br />
place on this matter.<br />
The second presentation of the day by<br />
EL’s Legal Advisers, Mrs. Annick Hubert<br />
and Mr. Philippe Vlaemminck , went<br />
through the latest developments in the<br />
WTO saga on Internet gambling and the<br />
subsequent Trade Barriers action. The<br />
intervention made by EL was explained<br />
in detail as well as the need for further<br />
coordination.<br />
After the coffee break, several lawyers<br />
coming from different jurisdictions, Mr. A<br />
Van ‘T Veer, Mr. G. Jaeger, Mr. M. Janot,<br />
Mr. E. Romppainen and Mr. R. Von Leesen<br />
did present and discuss their views on legal<br />
compliance with regard to advertising<br />
and insider win policy. The presentations<br />
did prove that, according to the states<br />
concerned, a variety of different, but essential<br />
measures are applied.<br />
Finally the Chairman of the EL Legal<br />
WG summarized the two days discussion<br />
in a comprehensive way in its closing remarks.<br />
SCML was also praised as an excellent<br />
host of the seminar.<br />
