English: Conversely, a model based on a higher uniform tax rate similar to that applied to land-based gambling would dissuade online operators from seeking a licence to provide services from Denmark, thus defeating the liberalisation objectives of the law. This would also be contrary to the general interest of consumer protection since no effective control of online gambling would be possible.
Italian: D’altro canto, la scelta di un’aliquota uniforme elevata, simile a quella imposta ai casinò tradizionali, avrebbe scoraggiato gli operatori on line dal richiedere una licenza per l’esercizio di questi servizi in Danimarca, vanificando in tal modo gli obiettivi di liberalizzazione che si prefiggeva la legge, e sarebbe stata altresì contraria all’obiettivo generale di tutela dei consumatori, in quanto avrebbe impedito un controllo efficace del gioco d’azzardo on line.
English: Furthermore, the interested parties allege that the consumer profiles of online and land-based casinos are comparable. Hence, the consumer aspect should not be used as a pertinent argument to distinguish online gambling from land-based gambling.
Italian: Inoltre, secondo le parti interessate i profili dei consumatori di giochi on line e tradizionali sono analoghi e pertanto l’aspetto relativo ai consumatori non può costituire un fattore di distinzione tra il gioco d’azzardo on line da quello tradizionale.
English: Reference is also made to the 2006 Commission Study on Gambling Services in the Internal Market [23]. Accordingly, ‘the future of gambling in casinos is increasingly going to be server-based as gaming machines move increasingly to downloadable game software’ [24].
Italian: Le parti interessate fanno altresì riferimento allo studio della Commissione del 2006 sul gioco d’azzardo nel mercato interno [23] secondo cui «il futuro del gioco d’azzardo nei casinò sarà in misura sempre maggiore basato su server, in quanto gli apparecchi da gioco si stanno spostando sempre più verso programmi di giochi scaricabili» [24].
English: Likewise, with regard to online gambling operators’ alleged lower capacity to pay, the Danish authorities failed to establish that there is a difference in profitability between online and land-based casino activities that would justify the differential tax treatment. Nor have the Danish authorities demonstrated that the financial capacity to pay is a principle embedded in their system of direct business taxation that could be relied upon in the present case as a justification for the differential tax treatment of online and land-based casinos.
Italian: Allo stesso modo, rispetto all’asserita minore capacità contributiva degli operatori di gioco d’azzardo on line, le autorità danesi non hanno stabilito che vi fosse una differenza di redditività fra le attività dei casinò on line e di quelli tradizionali tale da giustificare una diversa aliquota fiscale, né hanno dimostrato che la capacità contributiva sia un principio insito nel loro sistema di tassazione diretta delle imprese invocabile nel caso in esame per giustificare l’applicazione di un’aliquota differenziata ai casinò on line rispetto a quelli tradizionali.
English: In this connection, the Commission recalls that the gambling sector has never been subject to any harmonisation within the European Union. Under Article 2 of the Services Directive, gambling is even explicitly excluded from the Directive’s scope [52].
Italian: A tal proposito, la Commissione ricorda che il settore del gioco d’azzardo non è mai stato soggetto ad alcuna armonizzazione in seno all’Unione europea, tanto che all’articolo 2 la direttiva «servizi», esclude espressamente il gioco d’azzardo dal proprio campo di applicazione [52].
English: These comments were forwarded to Denmark on 16 March 2011, which was given the opportunity to respond. The Commission received Denmark’s comments by letter dated 14 April 2011.
Lithuanian: Danijai suteikta galimybė atsakyti į šias pastabas, kurios jai persiųstos 2011 m. kovo 16 d. Danija pateikė Komisijai savo pastabas 2011 m. balandžio 14 d. raštu.
English: With regard to the different tax rates for online and land-based gambling, the Danish authorities explained that they are confronted with a legislative and regulatory dilemma. On the one hand, they could no longer maintain the current monopolistic situation and delay liberalisation of the online gambling market. On the other hand, providing for a uniform tax level for online and land-based gambling activities would undermine the policy objectives pursued by the government in this field.
Lithuanian: Danijos valdžios institucijos dėl skirtingų internetiniams ir realiems lošimams taikomų mokesčių tarifų paaiškino, kad joms tenka spręsti teisinę ir reguliavimo dilemą: viena vertus, nebegalima tęsti dabartinės monopolinės veiklos ir atidėlioti internetinių lošimų rinkos liberalizavimo, kita vertus, vienodas internetinių ir realių lošimų veiklos apmokestinimas trukdytų pasiekti Vyriausybės politikos tikslus šioje srityje.
English: Some of the interested parties also pointed out that land-based gambling operators are subject to a limited competitive pressure in the specific geographic area where they offer their games. By contrast, online operators would face fierce competition from other online operators.
Lithuanian: Be to, kai kurios suinteresuotosios šalys pažymėjo, kad realių lošimų veiklos vykdytojai, veikiantys apibrėžtoje geografinėje teritorijoje, patiria ribotą konkurencinį spaudimą, o internetinių lošimų veiklos vykdytojai, priešingai, patiria labai didelę konkurenciją savo veiklos srityje.
English: In particular, since the gaming products in land-based casinos are bound to a physical location, customers need to physically move to get to the relevant location. For instance, in Denmark, there are only six locations where land-based casinos can operate.
Lithuanian: Visų pirma, kadangi realiuose lošimo namuose siūlomi lošimų produktai yra susieti su konkrečia fizine vieta, klientai turi patys atvykti į lošimo vietą (pavyzdžiui, Danijoje realiems lošimo namams leidžiama veikti tik šešiose vietose), kita vertus, lošėjai internete gali dalyvauti labai įvairiuose skirtingų tarptautinių lošimų veiklos vykdytojų organizuojamuose lošimuose.
English: By contrast, online gambling activities allow players to access a great number of gaming line-ups offered by different international operators. Moreover, the strong competition for online casinos is all the more exacerbated by the existence of specialised websites that compare the offer of various online gambling providers, and by numerous blogs and forums that allow players to compare the products, prices and services offered by online operators.
Lithuanian: Didelę internetinių lošimo namų konkurenciją dar labiau didina specializuotos interneto svetainės, kuriose lyginamos įvairių internetinių lošimų paslaugų teikėjų paslaugos, ir daugybė tinklaraščių bei forumų, kuriuose lošėjai gali lyginti internetinių lošimų veiklos vykdytojų produktus, kainas ir paslaugas.
English: Thus, with regard to the 2006 Commission Study on Gambling Services in the Internal Market [41], the Danish authorities claim that the study tends to show that online and land-based markets are separate [42]. By contrast, the same report is cited by some interested parties [43] to show that the online gambling market should not be regarded as a new market but rather as the evolution of the same gambling market, marked by the development of new hybrid gaming venues [44].
Lithuanian: Taigi Danijos valdžios institucijos, remdamasi Komisijos 2006 m. lošimų paslaugų vidaus rinkoje tyrimu [41], teigia, kad jame įrodytas internetinių ir realių lošimų rinkų atskirumas [42], tačiau kai kurios suinteresuotosios šalys, to paties tyrimo ataskaita remiasi [43] siekdamos priešingo tikslo įrodyti, kad internetinių lošimų nereikėtų laikyti nauja rinka – tai yra ta pati besikeičianti lošimų rinka, kurioje kuriamos naujos mišraus pobūdžio lošimo vietos [44].
English: The established interpretation of selectivity in case law is that a measure is selective if it is ‘intended partially to exempt those undertakings from the financial charges arising from the normal application of the general system of compulsory contributions imposed by law’ [32]. It follows that the measure is selective if it constitutes a departure from the application of the general tax framework.
Maltese: L-interpretazzjoni stabbilita tas-selettività fil-ġurisprudenza hija li miżura tkun selettiva jekk hija “intenzjonata parzjalment li teżenta dawk l-impriżi mill-imposti finanzjarji li jirriżultaw mill-applikazzjoni normali tas-sistema ġenerali tal-kontribuzzjonijiet obbligatorji imposti bil-liġi.” [32] Isegwi li l-miżura hija selettiva jekk din tikkostitwixxi tluq mill-applikazzjoni tal-qafas tat-taxxa ġenerali.
English: Over the past 10 years, gaming has developed into a major sales product on the Internet, especially after the introduction of online poker. The Internet has provided Danish citizens with the opportunity to compare Danske Spil’s products and product range with the products offered by online gambling providers established in the UK, Malta, Gibraltar and other countries.
Romanian: În ultimii zece ani, jocurile de noroc au devenit un produs vândut intens pe internet, în special după introducerea pokerului online. internetul a oferit cetățenilor danezi posibilitatea de a compara produsele și seria de produse ale Danske Spil cu produsele oferite de furnizori de jocuri de noroc online cu sediul în Regatul Unit, Malta, Gibraltar și alte țări.

English: The Danish authorities also relied on the Candover-Cinven-Gala decision [38], which held that gambling machines (jackpot machines, token machines and all-cash or AWPs) constituted an independent product market [39]. However, apart from the fact that this decision did not concern the application of State aid rules nor the issue of selectivity, it must be noted that although the decision states that ‘gaming machines (jackpot machines, token machines and all-cash or amusement with prize (AWP) machines) constitute a separate product market, it also states that they can be regarded as integrated in the gambling package at the respective sites where they are situated, i.e. in casinos, bingo clubs, arcades, pubs, betting shops etc.’ [40].
Slovenian: Danski organi so se sklicevali tudi na odločbo v zadevi Candover-Cinven-Gala [38], v kateri je bilo ugotovljeno, da igralni avtomati (avtomati za jackpot, avtomati na žetone in avtomati na denar ali plačljivi avtomati, namenjeni zabavi (amusements with prizes – AWP) oblikujejo ločen proizvodni trg [39]. Vendar pa je treba ob dejstvu, da se ta odločba ni nanašala na uporabo pravil o državni pomoči ali vprašanje selektivnosti, opozoriti, da čeprav odločba navaja, da „igralni avtomati (avtomati za jackpot, avtomati na žetone in avtomati na denar ali plačljivi avtomati, namenjeni zabavi) oblikujejo ločen proizvodni trg,“ navaja tudi, da „se lahko obravnavajo kot del sklopa iger na srečo na zadevnih mestih, kjer se nahajajo, tj. igralnicah, dvoranah za tombolo, igralnih salonih, pivnicah, stavnicah itd.“ [40].
English: The first was submitted by the Danish Amusement Machine Industry Association (‘DAB’) on 23 July 2010. The second complaint was submitted by a land-based casino operator, ‘the Royal Casino’, on 6 August 2010. Both complaints were forwarded to the Danish authorities on 23 September 2010 for their comments. The Danish authorities submitted their comments in their letter of 20 October 2010.
Swedish: Det första lämnades av det danska industriförbundet för nöjesspel (”DAB”) den 23 juli 2010. Det andra lämnades av en landbaserad kasinoaktör (”the Royal Casino”) den 6 augusti 2010. Båda klagomålen översändes till de danska myndigheterna den 23 september 2010 för synpunkter. De danska myndigheterna lämnade sina synpunkter genom en skrivelse av den 20 oktober 2010.
English: It is also settled case law that legislation by a Member State prohibiting providers established in other Member States from offering services in the territory of that first Member State via the Internet constitutes a restriction of the freedom to provide services enshrined in Article 56 TFEU [54]. Moreover, the freedom to provide services is for the benefit of both providers and recipients of services [55].
Swedish: Enligt rättspraxis gäller också att om en medlemsstat har lagstiftning enligt vilken leverantörer i en annan medlemsstat inte får erbjuda tjänster i den första medlemsstaten via internet utgör en begränsning av friheten att erbjuda tjänster enligt artikel 56 i EUF-fördraget [54] Dessutom är friheten att tillhandahålla tjänster en fördel både för leverantörerna och för mottagarna av tjänster [55].
