Toward more or less competition?
In late 2016, in the case of the Vlaardin gen Slot Machine Hall, the Administrative Law Division of the Co uncil of State established a general legal framework for the allocati on of scarce licenses. The administrative body is required to provide all (potential) applicants with an opportunity to compete. The admin istrative authority must ensure an appropriate level of transparency regarding the availability of the scarce license, the allocation proc edure, the application period, and the criteria to be applied, and mu st provide clarity on these matters in a timely manner prior to the s tart of the application procedure. This requirement is based on the o bligation of transparency arising from the case law of the Court of J ustice.
The doctrine has since developed at a rapid pace and ha s been extended to other areas, such as subsidies and the government� ��s allocation of land under private law (Didam).
During the se minar, ten years after the “Speelautomatenhal Vlaardingen� �� case, we will take stock of the situation. We will reflect on the development of the duty to compete over the past decade and look ahea d from the perspective of national administrative law, European law, and public procurement law: toward more or less room for competition?
