Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal do Porto — Interpretation of Articles 43 EC, 49 EC and 56 EC — National legislation granting a specific organisation the exclusive rights to operate games of chance and lotteries, and classing as administrative offences the activities of organising, promoting and collecting bets on sporting events, including over the internet — Prohibition of an undertaking which operates betting and lotteries online, and having its registered office in another Member State, from promoting, organising or operating such betting and lotteries over the internet or from awarding the value of the prizes to the winners
Operative part of the judgment
Article 49 EC does not preclude legislation of a Member State, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which prohibits operators such as Bwin International Ltd, which are established in other Member States, in which they lawfully provide similar services, from offering games of chance via the internet within the territory of that Member State.
