Some key things:
The real world price must be displayed for the item, not just the currency (ie, an outfit should say $24 next to it, not just 2800 vbucks).
Currencies must be exactly matchable to purchase amounts, so no 1000 point packages for 800 point items to leave 200 extra
It’s nice to see some government documents that genuinely understand how these currencies are being used in manipulative ways.

Quite the big step for gaming rights in the EU. In the last page, the document also mentions “whales” as “vulnerable people”, adding that a game targeting them specifically may run afoul of EU legislation when precaution are not taken to protect them from their impulses.
This may have a gigantic ripple effect in the industry – or it may not, if the industry decides that targeting whales in the US and China is more profitable than bowing to the EU.
