    Criminal proceedings against

    Angela Manzo

    Operative part of the order

    1.

    Articles 49 TFEU and 56 TFEU must be interpreted as not precluding a national provision, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which imposes on operators wishing to respond to a call for tenders for the grant of concessions in the field of betting and gambling the obligation to provide evidence of their economic and financial standing by means of statements issued by at least two banks, without allowing that standing to be proved also by other means, where such a provision is capable of satisfying the conditions of proportionality laid down by the case-law of the Court, this being a matter for the referring court to ascertain.

    2.

    Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts, in particular Article 47 thereof, must be interpreted as meaning that national legislation governing the grant of concessions in the field of betting and gambling, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, does not come within its scope.
