Question referred
Whether Article 13 and related and supplementary provisions of Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (1) must be interpreted as precluding the Kingdom of Spain, and specifically the fiscally autonomous historic territory of Guipúzcoa, from making telecommunications operators’ right of use of radio frequencies — which is already subject to what is known as the spectrum fee — subject to the general tax on capital transfers and documented legal acts that applies generally to administrative concessions of publicly owned assets, in accordance with local laws governing the said tax?
