EU court requires prior notification of national gambling technical rules
The Court of Justice of the European Union reaffirmed that national gambling rules qualifying as technical regulations must be notified to the European Commission, according to the report. The ruling says changes that broaden existing laws or add requirements must also be notified; unnotified provisions cannot be imposed on operators. EGBA said the TRIS process supports scrutiny of compatibility with EU law.
Operators may challenge the application of national gambling rules that were not notified under the stated procedure.
