English: However, the State owned casinos of Mont Parnès, Corfu and Rhodes continued to operate as service clubs of EOT [26] and did not implemented the acts of 1994-95 until the later granting of the licence provided by the Law 2206/1994. (18) According to the various observations and descriptions of the national provisions presented by the Greek authorities, the Commission understands that the system worked in practice as follows:
Portuguese: Contudo, os casinos públicos de Mont Parnès, Corfu e Rhodes continuaram a funcionar como clubes da EOT [26] e não aplicaram a legislação de 1994 e de 1995 até à concessão das licenças previstas na Lei 2206/1994.
Latvian: Tomēr valsts īpašumā esošais kazino Mont Parnès, Korfu salas kazino un Rodas salas kazino turpināja darboties kā EOT klubi [26] un nepiemēroja 1994. un 1995. gada tiesību aktus līdz Likumā 2206/1994 minēto licenču piešķiršanai.

English: the setting of two unequal regulated prices of admission tickets at EUR 6 and EUR 15 respectively for publicly and privately owned casinos, thereby placing the latter at a competitive disadvantage.
Maltese: jistabbilixxu prezzijiet differenti regolati għall-każinojiet li huma proprjetà pubblika u proprjetà privata, jiġifieri EUR 6 għall-każinojiet li huma proprjetà pubblika u EUR 15 għall-każinojiet li huma proprjetà privata,
English: However, both the requirement to remit 80 % and the standard level of the price of EUR 15 did not apply to the beneficiary casinos although they did apply to other casinos as of 1995 and have been in practice applied as such (all private casinos were licensed during 1995-96 and began implementing the measure, with the only exception of Thessaloniki casino). Thus, considering that de facto the fiscal discrimination resulting from the differentiation in prices of admission tickets and the related 80 % payments to the State started as of 1995, the period of implementation of the aid can be considered to begin in 1995.
Maltese: Madankollu, la l-ħtieġa ta’ ħlas lura ta’ 80 % u lanqas il-prezz standard ta’ EUR 15 ma kien japplika għall-każinojiet benefiċjarju, għalkemm it-tnejn applikaw għall-każinojiet oħra mill-1995 ‘l quddiem, u fil-prattika operaw minn dakinhar s'issa (il-każinojiet privati kollha ġew liċenzjati fl-1995 jew 1996,u bdew jimplimentaw il-miżura dak iż-żmien, bl-eċċezzjoni unika ta’ Tessaloniki). Peress li d-diskriminazzjoni fiskali li tirriżulta mid-differenzazzjoni fil-prezzijiet tal-biljetti tal-ammissjoni u l-ħlasijiet relatati ta’ 80 % lill-Istat fil-fatt bdew fl-1995, il-perjodu li fih l-għajnuna ġiet mogħtija jista' jitqies li beda fl-1995.
English: Therefore the amount of the recovery for this casino should be calculated by multiplying the number of tickets issued (since 21 October 1999) by EUR 7,20. Rhodes Casino was licensed under the Law 2206/1994 in 1996.
Maltese: L-ammont li għandu jiġi rkuprat mill-każinò ta’ Tessaloniki għalhekk għandu jiġi kkalkulat billi ssir multiplikazzjoni tan-numru ta’ biljetti maħruġa mill-21 ta’ Ottubru 1999 ‘l quddiem b'EUR 7,20.

English: Having called upon interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provisions cited above [1] and having regard to their comments, Whereas:
Dutch: Na de belanghebbenden overeenkomstig de aangehaalde artikelen te hebben aangemaand hun opmerkingen te maken [1], en gezien hun opmerkingen,
Polish: po wezwaniu zainteresowanych stron do przedstawienia uwag zgodnie z przywołanymi artykułami [1] i uwzględniając otrzymane odpowiedzi,
English: As noted above, as concerns the casinos of Thessaloniki and Rhodes, this requirement became applicable upon issuance of their license under the Law 2206/1994, namely since 1995 in the case of Thessaloniki, and since 1996 in the case of Rhodes. As concerns the price of admission tickets, it has remained at EUR 6 in the case of Mont Parnès and Thessaloniki until present, for Corfu until its privatisation in August 2010, and for Rhodes until its privatisation in 1999. However, both the requirement to remit 80 % and the price of admission tickets of EUR 15 applied to other casinos as of 1995 and have been in practice applied as such.
Polish: Jak wspomniano wcześniej, wymóg ten zaczął mieć zastosowanie do kasyn w Salonikach i na Rodos, gdy otrzymały one zezwolenia na mocy ustawy 2206/1994 – kasyno w Salonikach w 1995 r., a kasyno na Rodos w 1996 r. Cena wstępu pozostaje do dzisiaj na poziomie 6 EUR w przypadku kasyna Mont Parnès i kasyna w Salonikach, w kasynie na Korfu wynosiła 6 EUR do prywatyzacji w sierpniu 2010 r., a w kasynie na Rodos cena ta utrzymywała się do czasu prywatyzacji w 1999 r. Jednak zarówno wymóg przekazywania 80 %, jak i ustalenie ceny wstępu w wysokości 15 EUR obowiązywały inne kasyna od 1995 r. i były od tego czasu stosowane.
English: The fiscal discrimination was introduced in 1995 illegally– that is, from the perspective of EU State aid law – by the choice made by the Greek authorities to allow in favour of certain casinos derogations from the general rule deriving from the Law 2206/1994 and the Ministerial Decision of 1995. In particular, the Greek authorities allowed the public casinos of Mont Parnès, Corfu and Rhodes to continue to apply a lower price of admission tickets of EUR 6 instead of the standard price of EUR 15, and furthermore, also specifically granted this more advantageous treatment to the casino of Thessaloniki in 1995, based on the Law of 1953 (concerning foreign capital).
Polish: Dyskryminacja podatkowa wprowadzona została niezgodnie z prawem tj. w rozumieniu prawa UE dotyczącego pomocy państwa w 1995 r., gdy władze greckie postanowiły umożliwić zwolnienie niektórych kasyn z ogólnej zasady wynikającej z ustawy 2206/1994 i z decyzji ministerialnej z 1995 r. W szczególności władze greckie zezwoliły kasynom publicznym Mont Parnès, na Korfu i Rodos na dalsze stosowanie niższej ceny wstępu w wysokości 6 EUR zamiast standardowej ceny 15 EUR, a w 1995 r. objęły tym korzystniejszym traktowaniem kasyno w Salonikach na mocy dekretu z mocą ustawy z 1953 r. w sprawie kapitału zagranicznego.
English: In line with past practice [52], the Commission believes that reductions in taxes on consumers can constitute State aid to undertakings when the reduction is conditional on the use of a particular good or service from a particular undertaking. The argument that the direct beneficiary is the customer is not therefore an obstacle to a finding of State aid.
Portuguese: Na linha da prática anterior, a Comissão entende que as reduções de impostos sobre os consumidores podem constituir auxílios estatais a favor de empresas quando a redução é condicionada à utilização de um determinado bem ou serviço disponibilizado por determinada empresa, pelo que o argumento de que o beneficiário directo é o cliente não obsta a que a medida seja considerada um auxílio estatal [52]
English: As noted above, as concerns the casinos of Thessaloniki and Rhodes, this requirement became applicable upon issuance of their license under the Law 2206/1994, namely since 1995 in the case of Thessaloniki, and since 1996 in the case of Rhodes. As concerns the price of admission tickets, it has remained at EUR 6 in the case of Mont Parnès and Thessaloniki until present, for Corfu until its privatisation in August 2010, and for Rhodes until its privatisation in 1999.
Portuguese: Tal como apontado anteriormente, o requisito começou a aplicar-se aos casinos Thessaloniki e Rhodes quando foram licenciados ao abrigo da Lei 2206/1994: o Thessaloniki em 1995 e o Rhodes em 1996.
English: Therefore during that period (21 October 1999-end of 2000) the amount of the recovery should be calculated using the level of EUR 12 (i.e. the full tax paid by the other private casinos, while the public casinos did not pay any tax at all) and multiplying this by the number of tickets issued during that period. The Thessaloniki casino was licensed in 1995 under Law 2206/1994 [79].
Portuguese: Por conseguinte, durante o primeiro período (de Outubro de 1999 até ao final de 2000), o montante a recuperar deve ser calculado usando o valor de 12 EUR, que é o valor total do imposto pago pelos casinos privados na altura em que os casinos públicos não pagavam qualquer imposto, e multiplicando-o pelo número de bilhetes emitidos durante esse período.O casino de Thessaloniki foi licenciado em 1995 ao abrigo da Lei 2206/1994 [79].
English: The company EKP had been set up in 2001 as a subsidiary of ETA, a company fully controlled by the Greek state. ETA was founded in 1998 and had assumed in 2000 the management of the Mont Parnès and Corfu casinos, as successor to EOT (see also footnote 12 above).
Portuguese: A Elliniko Kazino Parnithas foi constituída em 2001, como subsidiária da ETA, tendo esta sido fundada em 1998 e depois substituído a EOT, em 2000, na gestão dos Casinos de Mont Parnès e Corfu (ver também a nota de rodapé 12).
English: Both the Greek authorities and Mont Parnès contest the existence of State aid. They both argue on the grounds that the State does not forgo any revenue (or that if it does, then the casinos do not gain any advantage).
Romanian: Atât autoritățile elene, cât și Mont Parnès neagă existența unui ajutor de stat, susținând că statul nu renunță la niciun venit sau, într-un astfel de caz, cazinourile nu obțin niciun avantaj.
English: In particular, the Commission notes that the advantage granted under the contested measure is not related to investment, job creation or specific projects. It simply relieves the undertakings concerned of charges normally borne by similar undertakings and must therefore be considered as operating aid.
Slovenian: Korist, zagotovljena s spornim ukrepom, ni povezana z naložbami, ustvarjanjem delovnih mest ali posebnimi projekti, temveč zadevna podjetja preprosto razbremenjuje dajatev, ki jih običajno plačujejo podobna podjetja, zato jo je treba šteti za pomoč za tekoče poslovanje.
Romanian: În special, avantajul acordat prin măsura contestată nu este legat de investiții, de crearea de locuri de muncă sau de proiecte specifice, ci pur și simplu scutește întreprinderile în cauză de cheltuieli suportate, în mod normal, de întreprinderi similare și, prin urmare, trebuie considerată ajutor de funcționare.
English: The Court has also held on numerous occasions that Article 107(1) of the TFEU does not distinguish between the causes or the objectives of State aid, but defines them in relation to their effects [59]. According to the Commission’s practice and the EU case-law concerning fiscal cases, the selective advantage involved may derive from an exception to the tax provisions of a legislative, regulatory or administrative nature or from a discretionary practice on the part of the tax authorities.
Slovak: Súdny dvor takisto pri mnohých príležitostiach potvrdil, že v článku 107 ods. 1 ZFEÚ sa nerozlišuje medzi príčinami alebo cieľmi štátnej pomoci, ale štátna pomoc sa v ňom vymedzuje v súvislosti so svojimi účinkami [59] Podľa vlastnej praxe Komisie a judikatúry EÚ v daňových otázkach, príslušná selektívna výhoda môže vyplývať z výnimky z daňových ustanovení zákonodarnej, riadiacej alebo administratívnej povahy alebo z voľného uváženia daňových orgánov.
English: The Commission observes that Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 provides that ‘the Commission shall not require recovery of the aid if this would be contrary to a general principle of community law’. The case-law of the Court of Justice and the Commission’s own decision-making practice have, amongst others, established that where, as a result of the Commission’s actions, legitimate expectations exist on the part of the beneficiary of a measure that the aid has been granted in accordance with EU law, then an order to recover the aid would infringe a general principle of EU law [76].
Slovak: V článku 14 ods. 1 procesného nariadenia (ES) č. 659/1999 sa ustanovuje, že „Komisia nebude vyžadovať vymáhanie pomoci, ak by to bolo v rozpore so všeobecnou zásadou práva Spoločenstva.“ Podľa judikatúry Súdneho dvora a rozhodovacej praxe Komisie je rozhodnutie o požiadavke na vrátenie porušením všeobecnej zásady práva EÚ, ak v dôsledku opatrení Komisie mal príjemca pomoci oprávnené očakávania, že pomoc bola poskytnutá v súlade s právom EÚ [76].

English: According to the case-law of the Court of Justice [57], ‘as regards the assessment of the condition of selectivity, which is a constituent factor in the concept of State aid, it is clear from settled case-law that Article 87(1) EC [now Article 107(1) of the TFEU] requires assessment of whether, under a particular statutory scheme, a State measure is such as to “favour certain undertakings or the production of certain goods” in comparison with other undertakings which are in a legal and factual situation that is comparable in the light of the objective pursued by the system in question’ [58]. The Court has also held on numerous occasions that Article 107(1) of the TFEU does not distinguish between the causes or the objectives of State aid, but defines them in relation to their effects [59].
Swedish: I domstolens rättspraxis fastställs följande [57]: ”Vad beträffar bedömningen av kravet på selektivitet, som ingår i begreppet statligt stöd, följer det av fast rättspraxis att artikel 87.1 EG [nu artikel 107.1 i EUF-fördraget] innebär att det ska fastställas huruvida en nationell åtgärd, inom ramen för en viss rättsordning, kan gynna ’vissa företag eller viss produktion’ i jämförelse med andra företag som i faktiskt och rättsligt hänseende befinner sig i en jämförbar situation, med hänsyn till målsättningen med rättsordningen.” [58] Domstolen har dessutom vid ett flertal tillfällen slagit fast att det i artikel 107.1 i EUF-fördraget inte görs någon åtskillnad med utgångspunkt i stödåtgärdernas bakgrund och syften, utan att de definieras utifrån sina effekter [59].

English: Article 1 The State aid implemented by the Hellenic Republic and consisting of the fiscal discrimination put into place in favour of certain casinos through the implementation of several simultaneous, partially mandatory, legal provisions concerning the fixing of a uniform 80 % levy on the price of admission tickets, and the setting of two unequal regulated prices of admission tickets at EUR 6 and EUR 15 respectively for publicly and privately owned casinos,
