    (Case C-42/07)

    (2007/C 69/20)

    Language of the case: Portuguese

    Referring court

    Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal do Porto

    Parties to the main proceedings

    Applicants: Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (CA/LPFP) and Baw International Ltd

    Defendant: Departamento de Jogos da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa

    Questions referred

    1.

    Does the monopoly granted to Santa Casa [da Misericórdia de Lisboa], when relied on against Baw [International Ltd], that is to say, against a provider of services established in another Member State in which it lawfully provides similar services, which has no physical establishment in Portugal, constitute an impediment to the free provision of services, in breach of the principles of freedom to provide services, freedom of establishment and the free movement of payments enshrined in Articles 49, 43 and 56 respectively of the EC Treaty?

    2.

    Is it contrary to Community law, in particular to the abovementioned principles, for rules of domestic law such as those at issue in the main proceedings first to establish a monopoly in favour of a single body for the operation of lotteries and mutual betting and then to extend that monopoly to ‘the entire national territory, including … the internet’?
