WILL ADVERTISEMENT BANNING STILL BE ENFORCED AFTER COVID-19?
While battling against COVID-19, European countries are spending a huge amount of incomes and once the battle is over, the state budget has to be supplemented. Will legislators consider lifting advertisement bans in order to allow operators and affiliates to relaunch their activities and start running the business, while paying taxes.
