Marstrander: Next step, in Norway, will be to introduce and consider a licensing scheme...but that is still a long way off.

Marstrander: Norway has measures that don't work but they just keep repeating it. They will ultimately go to a licensing regime. #IMGL

Marstrander: Last govt report made no move to more effective financial blocking...they have given up. Operators now have more market share.

Chmiel: Due to massive lack of information, MCC blocking is used (eg in US) and simply decline all transactions. Does it help?
