Article 1#
1.The 16 special tax schemes applicable to public casinos operators in the 16 German Länder (as described in Section 4.1 of the recitals) constitute State aid schemes unlawfully put into effect by Germany in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The aid granted under those aid schemes is incompatible with the internal market.
2.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the scheme applicable to public casinos operators as from 1 January 2024 in the Land Hamburg (Law of 24 May 1976 allowing a public casino, amended by the law of 21 December 2023) does not constitute State aid.
