English to Spanish: Paragraph in an Annual Report relating to the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (“TFEU”) General field: Other Detailed field: Law (general)
Source text - English The European Union (EU)
EU Member States are subject to scrutiny from the Commission and, as “guardian” of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (the “TFEU”), it closely monitors existing and developing legislation in the EU. The principal method by which the Commission has applied pressure on Member States is through the use of ‘infringement proceedings’ against EU Member States in contravention of EU law. Through such proceedings, the Commission has asked a number of States to amend their laws restricting the free movement of gambling services. The ongoing pressure from the Commission, and in some cases national court decisions declaring domestic legislation to be incompatible with EU law, has led to a domestic review of prohibitive legislation in a number of jurisdictions, including France, Italy, Sweden and Denmark.
On 9 September 2009, the (ECJ) delivered its judgment in Case C-42/07 between Departamento de Jogos da Santa Casa da
Misericordia de Lisboa (“Santa Casa”) and Bwin, and effectively upheld the Portuguese national law restricting certain betting and gaming activities to the State monopoly, Santa Casa. While the ECJ maintained the need for restrictions on gambling services to be justified in the public interest, the judgment is unambiguous in its vindication of State monopolies as an effective method for doing so. This decision was followed by cases in the Netherlands (in which the court upheld the Dutch monopoly) and in Sweden where the courts indirectly upheld the monopoly by its endorsement of the prevention of advertising of unauthorised gambling (albeit it would be discriminatory if the Swedish authorities imposed stricter penalties on the advertising of gambling by unauthorised organisations outside of Sweden than on the advertising of gambling by unauthorised organisations within Sweden).
Translation - Spanish La Unión Europea (UE)
Los Estados miembros de la UE están sujetos al escrutinio de la Comisión que, en su calidad de “guardiana” del Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea (el “TFUE”), realiza un cuidadoso seguimiento de la legislación existente y en proceso de creación dentro de la UE. El principal método que la Comisión ha utilizado para ejercer presión sobre los Estados miembros ha sido a través del uso de "procedimientos de infracción" contra los Estados miembros de la UE que incumplen las leyes de la UE. En virtud de dichos procedimientos, la Comisión ha solicitado a una serie de Estados que enmendaran las leyes que limitan la libre circulación de servicios de apuestas. La presión que sigue ejerciendo la Comisión, y en algunos casos las sentencias de los tribunales nacionales que han declarado que las legislaciones nacionales son incompatibles con la legislación de la UE, ha dado lugar a una revisión de las leyes nacionales de carácter prohibitivo en una serie de jurisdicciones, incluidas Francia, Italia Suecia y Dinamarca.
El 9 de septiembre de 2009, el TJE dictó sentencia en el caso C-42/07 entre Departamento de Jogos da Santa Casa da Misericordia de Lisboa (“Santa Casa”) y Bwin, y ratificó la prevalencia de la legislación nacional portuguesa que establece que Santa Casa, un monopolio estatal, es el único organismo que puede ofrecer determinadas actividades de apuestas y juegos. Si bien el TJE hizo referencia a la necesidad de establecer restricciones a los servicios de apuestas para proteger el interés público, la sentencia es clara en su defensa de los monopolios estatales como un método eficaz para lograrlo. A esta decisión siguieron casos en los Países Bajos (en los que el tribunal ratificó el monopolio estatal holandés) y en Suecia, donde los tribunales indirectamente ratificaron el monopolio al respaldar la prohibición de las actividades publicitarias por parte de los operadores de apuestas no autorizados (si bien sería discriminatorio que las autoridades suecas impusieran sanciones más estrictas a las actividades publicitarias por parte de operadores de apuestas no autorizados fuera de Suecia que a las actividades publicitarias por parte de operadores de apuestas no autorizados dentro de Suecia).
