The 12-strong list includes six full members and six substitutes.<\/p>\n<p>Five Ministers represent the Commission&#8217;s various ranks across finance, justice, economy, interior, and public health, with each ministry bringing one Dutch-speaking and one French-speaking representative. The final two slots are attributed to the Ministry of Finance, as it is responsible for the National Lottery.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"who_are_the_ministers_of_belgiums_gaming_commission-2\">Who are the ministers of Belgium&#8217;s Gaming Commission?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Ministry of Finance&#8217;s four representatives, therefore, are\u00a0Anne-Laure Mouligneaux, Ignace Vandewalle, Caroline Dujacquier, and Tom Van Caeckenberghe. The first two, as full members of the Commission, will oversee the financial aspects of gambling regulation and ensure the compliance of operators, while their colleagues represent the Finance Ministry in its role as the patron of the National Lottery and ensure compliance on the side of the Lottery.<\/p>\n<p>This comes at an instrumental time in Belgium, as the government is in <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/belgium-bipt-gambling-firms-new-e-evidence-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the process of updating its national regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For the other ministries, Nathalie Patoussa and Daisy Vervenne will represent the Ministry of Justice, Ferdinand Van Der Gracht and Lena Boons will represent the Minister of Public Health, Micha\u00ebl Stokard and Sahin Yazici will represent the Minister of the Economy, and St\u00e9phane Obeid and B\u00e9atrice Vossen will represent the Minister of the Interior.<\/p>\n<p>Each set of representatives will lead on issues relevant to their sector, taking in the impact of gaming on the economy, people&#8217;s public health \u2013 including gambling-related harm \u2013 and the impact on public order. Many of those issues could intersect. As one example, Belgium is working on limiting gambling ads nationwide, while there are also financial considerations to be made about the impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/belgian-soccer-clubs-appear-to-evade-new-gambling-sponsor-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">football clubs without sponsorship.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image: <a class=\"vNdLpe btTgYb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/european_parliament\/53645057148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ved=\"0CB0Q7o4GahcKEwiQgYuk4rmPAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQBA\">Flickr<\/a>, licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC BY 2.0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/belgium-appoints-new-members-to-six-year-service-in-gaming-commission\/\">Belgium appoints new members to six-year service in Gaming Commission<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\">ReadWrite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/belgium-appoints-new-members-to-six-year-service-in-gaming-commission\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The King of Belgium has confirmed the 12 new gambling regulatory members serving in the Gaming Commission for the next six years.
