The die is cast

2010-03-03

On February 24, 2010, the Senate adopted the draft bill on the opening to competition and regulation of the online gambling market.

Nothing revolutionary

Although slightly amended, the text in itself has not been radically modified.

The opening of the French online gambling market is still limited to (1) sports bets (Live Betting, mutual and odds bets), (2) horse bets (mutual bets) and (3) poker.

Likewise, the taxation pertaining to online gambling has not really been modified: operators will be taxed on the amount of the bets, up to 7, 5 % on sports and horse' bets and up to 2 % on poker.

Making a positive contribution

DECEMBER 2009: LET'S CHANGE!

Ichay & Mullenex Avocats supports the principles underlying the “Climate Ultimatum, the call for the Copenhagen conference”.

This call aims at encouraging all participants to the Copenhagen international conference to reach an ambitious agreement, in terms of greenhouse gas global emission (40% by 2020 compared to 1990), fair (equitable distribution of tasks between Northern and Southern countries) and binding.

We believe that it’s now time for the private sector to get involved in the battle for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The interest for actors of the private sector is both to participate to this paramount project but also to ensure that economic reality is not sacrificed to idealism.

Ichay & Mullenex Avocats is already involved in this battle.
