Philippe Vlaemminck

Experience

In the current debate on state lotteries and gambling in the EU and WTO Philippe Vlaemminck is a leading player who has been involved as a Member State representative in every gambling case before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the EFTA court (more than 60 cases). Philippe even was among the first private lawyers who were granted the right to appear in a WTO dispute settlement hearing (EU bananas – AB).

In addition, Philippe is a specialist in both EU law (Regulatory and Litigation) and trade law (WTO and anti-dumping). He acts as a legal advisor to various EU Member States and companies on EU law (internal market, state aid and renewable energy). For example, during his 40-year career he has assisted and provided the Belgian Government in many Belgian & EU regulatory matters with legal advice, and represented the government in many Constitutional Court cases as well as several cases at the Conseil d’Etat, and before the European Commission (infringement cases & state aid cases).

Philippe is also a well-respected and frequently asked speaker at conferences and seminars by the World Lottery Association, European Lotteries, the African Lottery Association, ICE Totally Gaming and ICE Africa.
