Italy's Council of State maintains EU court referral on bingo concessions
Italy's Council of State upheld its referral to the Court of Justice of the European Union over rules governing bingo-hall concessions, in an order deposited on 29 April 2025. The Italian court said the EU court's March ruling had not specifically addressed questions about the justification and proportionality of restrictions or their effects on competition, and kept the national case suspended.
The referral leaves questions over bingo-concession extensions and access to public tenders unresolved.
