Question referred
Is Article 56 TFEU to be interpreted as meaning that, in an assessment of the proportionality of a rule of national law which provides for a monopoly in the market for games of chance, the validity of that rule under EU law depends not only on the objective which it pursues but also on its effects, as definitively and empirically determined?
