The European Commission (EC), that bastion of commercial fair play for European-based businesses, is to interview some of the Bush administration’s senior members over the US’ current protectionist policies as enshrined by UIGEA.

For those of you in the online bingo world who are still not aware of the massive damage inflicted on our industry by UIGEA, the implementation of this notorious piece of legislation hit quite a few online bingo games operators for six.  The EC has subsequently fought to influence US policy into revising its stance towards a more regulated online gaming industry that would allow UK online bingo halls to do business in the lucrative US market again.

So, will these EC interviews help us to get back into the US market?  My bet is this is highly unlikely as the Bush administration is in its twilight and probably will do very little to change things in the time it has left.
