CROSS MALTESE
A sequel to the French action against a Maltese licensee
Maltese Internet betting company Zeturf Ltd has responded to a French tribunal's recent injunction that it stop offering wagers on French horse racing by launching an appeal against the ruling and filing a formal complaint with the European Commission.
The Maltese government has also responded strongly against the French ruling, according to diplomatic reports.
A measure of the seriousness with which Malta regards the incident can be gained from Maltese Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi's initiative in appointing a task force of four senior members of the Cabinet to monitor the situation
The Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority has promised full support to Zeturf.
