         Defendant: Ministero dell’Interno
      
         Question referred
      
      Is a national system under national legislation (introduced as from the Bersani Decree, Decree-Law No 223 of 4 July 2006, converted into Law No 248 of 4 August 2006) compatible with Articles 43 and 49 of the EC Treaty, when it, inter alia:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  tends generally to protect holders of licences issued at an earlier period following a tendering procedure that unlawfully excluded some operators;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in fact ensures the maintenance of acquired commercial positions (by, for example, prohibiting new licensees from locating their kiosks within a specified distance of those already in existence);
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  provides for cases in which the licence may lapse when the licensee directly or indirectly carries on cross- border gaming activities analogous to those under the licence?
