A Justice Department probe of European online gambling companies violates American agreements under the World Trade Organization, the European Commission said in a new report.



The European Union is now seeking a negotiated solution with the United States rather than file a groundbreaking complaint at the WTO.

A senior Democratic member of the House of Representatives embraced the EU finding and said he planned to introduce legislation after the April 6-17 congressional break to overturn the U.S. ban on Internet gambling .

"I'm struck by the people who think we have to abide absolutely and religiously by the WTO ... but when it comes to banning gambling and the WTO, they ignore it," House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank said.
European online gambling firms lost billions of euros in market value after Congress passed anti-gambling legislation in 2006.
