Criminal proceedings against

Claudia Concu, Isabella Melis

Operative part of the order

Articles 49 TFEU and 56 TFEU and the principles of equal treatment and effectiveness must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation, such as that in issue in the main proceedings, which provides for the organisation of a new call for tenders relating to licences with a period of validity shorter than that of licences awarded in the past due to a reorganisation of the licencing system through an alignment of licence expiry dates.
