General; R. Grass, Registrar, has made an order on 15 Decem-

The EC Treaty provisions on freedom to provide services do not
preclude national legislation, such as the Italian legislation, which
reserves unto certain bodies the right to take bets on sporting events,
if that legislation is in fact justified by social-policy objectives designed
to limit the harmful effects of such activities and if the restrictions
which it
imposes are not disproportionate in relation to those
objectives.
