Belgium.- The European Casino Association (ECA) has announced that its team will see some changes as the Secretary General Philip Easthill will no longer hold his position. Easthill announced his departure on September 1, which took immediate effect.

ECA said that it has implemented a new structure following the departure. Veronika Tisold will act as Executive Director, and Hermann Pamminger will support that role by being her Senior Advisor.
