Virtual Casinos
On the other hand, we can question the act of complicity ofthe financial institution, notably regarding the victims oftheir acts, in the opening of an account which allows a vir-tual casino to carry out unlawful acts where the institutionsare fully aware of the illegality of a virtual casino.The sameapplies for the provision of a secure payment solution.
Therefore, it seems unquestionable that the current legalinsecurity has to cause a reaction from the legislator.The Trucyreport is not an isolated French phenomenon. We can note
that on the European Union level a deliberation has comeabout concerning the present context of the internal servicesmarket policy.The European Commission is preparing a reporton all “services”defined by article 49 CE,which may well quote“online gambling” and “casinos” in a list of barriers to the freeprovision of services as outlined in article 49 CE.

This text comprises the results of a seminar held in June 2000 by the Macau Institute of European Studies which wasestablished in 1995 to act as a bridge between Europe and East Asia in the promotion of European studies. In focusing onintellectual property law this particular seminar sought to restore the subject to the forefront and to reverse the tendencyto overlook the subject, as it had been in the past by law schools. The book is divided into six sections which, following ageneral introduction,cover copyright and data protection;patents and indigenous knowledge; trademarks and unfair com-petition; and IP and e-commerce in greater China.
