The Maltese government has withdrawn its Request for Opinion
from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the definition of
"illegal sports betting" in the Council of Europe's
Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions.
Adopted in July last year, the Convention is designed to tackle
match-fixing and combat the growth of illegal sports betting. Its
ultimate aim is to "prevent, detect, punish and
discipline" the manipulation of sporting competitions, as well
as enhancing cooperation and the exchange of information between
national and international authorities, sporting organisations and
betting operators.
