  Auszug aus EGMR, 08.09.2015 - 23265/13

  If questions 8 and/or 9 are answered in the affirmative, must the judgment in Brasserie du pêcheur and Factortame (C 46/93 and C 48/93, EU:C:1996:79) be interpreted as meaning that infringement of Articles 34 TFEU and/or 56 TFEU may give rise to liability for damages on the part of the Member State on the ground that those provisions - because of their direct effect - confer rights on individuals in the Member States?.

  According to settled case-law, EU law confers a right to compensation where three conditions are met: the rule of law infringed must be intended to confer rights on individuals; the infringement must be sufficiently serious; and there must be a direct causal link between the breach of the obligation resting on the State and the damage sustained by the injured parties (see, inter alia, judgments in Brasserie du pêcheur and Factortame, Joined Cases C 46/93 and C 48/93, EU:C:1996:79, paragraph 51; Danske Slagterier, C 445/06, EU:C:2009:178, paragraph 20, and Commission v Italy, C 379/10, EU:C:2011:775, paragraph 40).

  This principle was extended by the CJEU so as to cover losses which originate in the acts or omissions of any State organ which violate EU law and thus result in a violation of the rights enshrined in EU law (see Brasserie du Pêcheur SA (C-46/93) and Factortame Ltd. (C-48/93) judgment of 5 March 1996).

  The identification of the objectives in fact pursued by the national legislation is, in the context of a case referred to the Court under Article 267 TFEU, within the jurisdiction of the referring court (judgment in Pfleger and Others, C-390/12, EU:C:2014:281, paragraph 47).

  Likewise, the Court has already held that an unjustified or disproportionate restriction of the freedom to provide services under Article 56 TFEU is also not permitted under Article 52(1) of the Charter, in relation to Article 17 thereof (Pfleger and Others, C 390/12, EU:C:2014:281, paragraphs 57 and 59).

  It follows that, in the present case, the examination, carried out in paragraphs 56 to 73 of the present judgment, of the restriction represented by legislation such as that at issue in the main proceedings from the point of view of Article 56 TFEU also covers possible limitations of the exercise of the right to property guaranteed by Article 17 of the Charter, so that a separate examination is not necessary (see, to that effect, Pfleger and Others, C 390/12, EU:C:2014:281, paragraph 60).

  The Court has also held that a trader cannot place reliance on there being no legislative amendment whatever, but can only call into question the arrangements for the implementation of such an amendment (see, to that effect, judgment in Gemeente Leusden and Holin Groep, Joined Cases C-487/01 and C-7/02, EU:C:2004:263, paragraph 81).

  Likewise, the principle of legal certainty does not require that there be no legislative amendment, requiring as it does, rather, that the national legislature take account of the particular situations of traders and provide, where appropriate, adaptations to the application of the new legal rules (judgments in VEMW and Others, C-17/03, EU:C:2005:362, paragraph 81, and Plantanol, C-201/08, EU:C:2009:539, paragraph 49; see, to that effect, judgment in Gemeente Leusden and Holin Groep, Joined Cases C-487/01 and C-7/02, EU:C:2004:263, paragraph 70).

  Auszug aus EGMR, 08.09.2015 - 23265/13

  In that regard, it must be pointed out that the principle of legal certainty, the corollary of which is the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations, requires, inter alia, that rules of law be clear and precise and predictable in their effect, especially where they may have negative consequences on individuals and undertakings (see, to that effect, judgments in VEMW and Others, C-17/03, EU:C:2005:362, paragraph 80 and the case-law cited; ASM Brescia, C-347/06, EU:C:2008:416, paragraph 69, and Test Claimants in the Franked Investment Income Group Litigation, C-362/12, EU:C:2013:834, paragraph 44).

  Likewise, the principle of legal certainty does not require that there be no legislative amendment, requiring as it does, rather, that the national legislature take account of the particular situations of traders and provide, where appropriate, adaptations to the application of the new legal rules (judgments in VEMW and Others, C-17/03, EU:C:2005:362, paragraph 81, and Plantanol, C-201/08, EU:C:2009:539, paragraph 49; see, to that effect, judgment in Gemeente Leusden and Holin Groep, Joined Cases C-487/01 and C-7/02, EU:C:2004:263, paragraph 70).

  [A] policy of controlled expansion of gambling activities can only be regarded as being consistent if, first, criminal and fraudulent activities linked to gambling and, secondly, addiction to gambling could have been a problem in Hungary at the material time and if the expansion of authorised and regulated activities could have solved that problem (see, to that effect, judgments in Ladbrokes Betting & Gaming and Ladbrokes International, C-258/08, EU:C:2010:308, paragraph 30; Zeturf, C-212/08, EU:C:2011:437, paragraph 70, and in Dickinger and Ömer, C-347/09, EU:C:2011:582, paragraph 67).

  It is for the referring court to determine, in the context of the case before it, whether those conditions are satisfied and, if applicable, whether the expansion in question is on such a scale as to make it impossible to reconcile with the objective of curbing addiction to gambling (see, to that effect, judgment in Ladbrokes Betting & Gaming and Ladbrokes International, C-258/08, EU:C:2010:308, paragraph 38).

  Likewise, the principle of legal certainty does not require that there be no legislative amendment, requiring as it does, rather, that the national legislature take account of the particular situations of traders and provide, where appropriate, adaptations to the application of the new legal rules (judgments in VEMW and Others, C-17/03, EU:C:2005:362, paragraph 81, and Plantanol, C-201/08, EU:C:2009:539, paragraph 49; see, to that effect, judgment in Gemeente Leusden and Holin Groep, Joined Cases C-487/01 and C-7/02, EU:C:2004:263, paragraph 70).

  In that regard, it must be noted that a trader who has made costly investments in order to comply with the scheme adopted previously by the legislature could see his interests considerably affected by the withdrawal of that scheme before the date announced, all the more so if that withdrawal takes place suddenly and unforeseeably, without leaving him enough time to adapt to the new legal situation (see, to that effect, Plantanol, C-201/08, EU:C:2009:539, paragraph 52).

  In the absence of harmonisation at EU level, the Member States are, in principle, free to set the objectives of their policy on betting and gaming and, where appropriate, to define in detail the level of protection sought (see, to that effect, judgments in Dickinger and Ömer, C-347/09, EU:C:2011:582, paragraph 47, and in Digibet and Albers, C-156/13, EU:C:2014:1756, paragraph 24).

  [A] policy of controlled expansion of gambling activities can only be regarded as being consistent if, first, criminal and fraudulent activities linked to gambling and, secondly, addiction to gambling could have been a problem in Hungary at the material time and if the expansion of authorised and regulated activities could have solved that problem (see, to that effect, judgments in Ladbrokes Betting & Gaming and Ladbrokes International, C-258/08, EU:C:2010:308, paragraph 30; Zeturf, C-212/08, EU:C:2011:437, paragraph 70, and in Dickinger and Ömer, C-347/09, EU:C:2011:582, paragraph 67).

  58 However, it must be stated that the declared objectives pursued by the legislation at issue in the main proceedings, namely the protection of consumers against gambling addiction and the prevention of crime and fraud linked to gambling, constitute overriding reasons in the public interest capable of justifying restrictions on gambling (see, to that effect, judgments in Carmen Media Group, C-46/08, EU:C:2010:505, paragraph 55, and in Stanley International Betting and Stanleybet Malta, C-463/13, EU:C:2015:25, paragraphs 48 and 49 and the case-law cited).

  As a preliminary point, it should be noted that the choice of methods for organising and controlling the operation and playing of games of chance or gambling, such as the conclusion with the State of an administrative licensing contract or the restriction of the operation and playing of certain games to places duly licensed for that purpose, falls within the margin of discretion which the national authorities enjoy (see judgments in Anomar and Others, paragraph 88 and Carmen Media Group, C-46/08, EU:C:2010:505, paragraph 59).

  51....[I]t follows, inter alia, from the [judgments in Anomar and Others, C-6/01, EU:C:2003:446, paragraph 75, and Commission v Greece, C-65/05, EU:C:2006:673, paragraph 53] that national legislation which authorises the operation and playing of certain games of chance in casinos only constitutes an obstacle to the freedom to provide services.

  A limited authorisation of those games on the basis of special or exclusive rights granted or assigned to certain bodies, which has the advantage of confining the desire to gamble and the exploitation of gambling within controlled channels, is capable of falling within the pursuit of the public interest objectives of protecting the consumer and public order (see, inter alia, judgments in Läärä, C-124/97, EU:C:1999:435, paragraph 37; Zenatti, C-67/98, EU:C:1999:514, paragraph 35, and Anomar and Others, C-6/01, EU:C:2003:446, paragraph 74).
