Several European Union countries, notably France, Greece, Norway, and Sweden, are taking a hard line against offshore online gambling and are ready to push for a change in legislation in the European Parliament to exclude gambling from free trade agreements so that the governments can monopolize online gambling within their respective territories.

I can't speak to the rest of your post, but a) Norway is not part of the EU and b) sure as hell aren't pushing for changes to monopolize online gambling. In fact, the government already have a monopoly here (with lotto, sports betting, horses and a few other games) and recently announced plans for legislation that matches the US with regards to blocking payment to gambling sites (casinos/poker).

I don't think it bodes well for the rest of your post when you're basically making stuff up here though.
