Čile – Postavljen novi rok za čileanske gradske dozvole
By Phil - 15. rujna 2017
The Chilean Gaming control Board (SCJ) has announced a new deadline for the presentation of the technical and economic bids for the municipal casinos in the municipalities of Arica, Pucón and Puerto Natales.
The announcement was officially made public in Chile’s Diario Oficial (Chile’s Government Gazette) and sets the deadline as September 25, at 11 am, where interested parties may submit their proposals at the Gran Palace Hotel in Santiago.
However, in the case of the casino licenses in the municipalities of Iquique, Coquimbo, Viña del Mar and Puerto Varas, the dates established by the gaming board have yet to be announced.
Prema procjenama koje je objavio SJC, novi postupak natječaja mogao bi pomoći u povećanju poreznih prihoda koje su nova kockarnice generirala za državu u prosjeku za čak 46 posto, dok bi bruto prihod od igara na sreću (koji će se jednako podijeliti između općine i države) gdje se kasino nalazi) povećat će se za 20 posto.
The announcement is a major step forward in a process which has been fraught with controversy. In October 2016 the SJC announced that it had decided to postpone the hearing for the submission of tenders for the bidding for the municipal casino licences which had been scheduled to take place on November 4. Companies such as Campos del Norte S.A, Inmobiliaria Proyecto Integral Coquimbo, Inversiones del Sur S.A. and Inversiones Marina del Sol had pointed out a number of shortcomings as well as a lack of information when it came to the process initiated by the SJC via the Santiago Appeals Court. They also warned that the demands put on operators applying for the casino licences were excessive and would make the businesses unprofitable. However at the end of May this year the Supreme Court unanimously rejected the writs of amparo – a remedy for the protection of their constitutional rights put forward by investors – meaning that the licensing process could go ahead.
Projekti za nove općinske dozvole bit će bodovani i ocjenjivani prema velikom broju različitih kriterija od strane brojnih različitih ogranaka u vladi, uključujući lokalne i regionalne vlasti, Turističku zajednicu, Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova i javne sigurnosti i SJC. Bodovi će se dodjeljivati na temelju toga kako će se kasino uklopiti u lokalne zajednice iu strategiju regionalnog razvoja. SJC će također ocijeniti kako će projekt utjecati na turizam, te će uzeti u obzir lokaciju, dizajn i kvalitetu predloženih objekata.
