Toward more or less com petition?
In late 2016, in the case of the Vlaardingen Slo t Machine Hall, the Administrative Law Division of the Council o f State established a general legal framework for the allocation of s carce licenses. The administrative body is required to provide all (p otential) applicants with an opportunity to compete. The administrati ve authority must ensure an appropriate level of transparency regardi ng the availability of the scarce license, the allocation procedure, the application period, and the criteria to be applied, and must prov ide clarity on these matters in a timely manner prior to the start of the application procedure. This requirement is based on the obligati on of transparency arising from the case law of the Court of Justice.
The doctrine has since developed at a rapid pace and has been extended to other areas, such as subsidies and the government’s all ocation of land under private law (Didam).
During the seminar, ten years after the “Speelautomatenhal Vlaardingen” case , we will take stock of the situation. We will reflect on the develop ment of the duty to compete over the past decade and look ahead from the perspective of national administrative law, European law, and pub lic procurement law: toward more or less room for competition?
