France to Launch ANJ by Spring 2020
Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, State Councillor for the French National Data Protection Commission, has announced that her department will soon launch its new governing structure overseeing French gambling regulatory oversight.
Last year, the En Marche government appointed Falque-Pierrotin to lead the establishment of “L’autorité Nationale des Jeux–ANJ,” the new regulatory agency for French gambling.
In her role, Falque-Pierrotin was charged with developing a new French gambling authority to take over the duties of regulatory authorities from the French Treasury (land-based gaming), ARJEL (online gambling) and Agriculture Department (horseracing).
The Falque-Pierrotin department issued an update outlining that ANJ had begun its acquisition of ARJEL duties, with the new authority planning to be officially launched by Spring 2020.
