Malta's Parliament has introduced a bill that could allow its courts to disregard enforcement of foreign judgments, including those related to gaming law, sparking concerns and legal challenges from countries like Germany and Austria that have taken action against online gambling operators licensed in Malta but operating in their jurisdictions, highlighting the complex balance between national gaming monopolies and the principle of free trade within the European Union. The proposed bill has been met with criticism and calls for intervention from the European Commission based on EU regulations regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
