Among the regions in which may also be expected to reconsider their laws are Catalonia, the Basque Country, Calabria and Navarre, but operators argue that only a law of truly national scope will allow the provision of remote gambling within one of Europe's most coveted betting markets. Nevertheless Spain has begun what many see as positive move in the direction of a competitive, regulated gambling market.
