European Gaming and Amusement Federation

Instigates dialogue with the European Union and other pan-European bodies. It hopes to use its position and membership to stimulate debate and awareness;

Monitors the European regulations on legal, commercial and technical aspects of the business to guarantee the best possible future for the industry;

Gives one voice to its members on commercial and legislative matters affecting their business and makes known the views of its members in the debate surrounding issues;

Defends the industry interests by providing continued and accurate information to citizens, the media and the administrations on the gaming sector;

Supports all member associations in their efforts to adopt, promote and enforce the appropriate code of conduct for themselves and their associates.
