Casino request rejected on appeal
The Council of State has turned down a request from French casino group CFR for an operating licence in the Netherlands, ending a long-running legal process. The decision means that state-owned Holland Casino remains the only company licenced to run casinos in the country. The Council ruled that even though the refusal was an infringement of EU laws, it was in the public interest to do so.
