Ah.. What I was saying was that the EU runs their own house and are not too interested in the opinions of states outside the EU. ie If China, the US or Brazil opposed gaming - doubt the EU courts or EU countries would bother.

Actually mean't that it is unlikely the EU Court of Justice would listen to complaints from external states (ie the US).

And sure.. agree the UK would be likely to follow EU directives.
