Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale per la Lombardia — Interpretation of Articles 15 and 16 of Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market (OJ 2006 L 376, p. 36) and Articles 3, 10, 43, 49 and 81 EC — Commercial communications by the regulated professions — The award of services relating to the assessment, verification and collection of taxes and other local authority revenue — Minimum share capital required under national legislation
Operative part of the judgment
Articles 43 EC and 49 EC must be interpreted as precluding a provision such as that at issue in the main proceedings, under which:
|
— |
economic operators, except companies in which all or a majority of the share capital is in public ownership, are required, if necessary, to increase their fully paid up capital to a minimum of EUR 10 million in order to be entitled to pursue the activities of assessment, verification and collection of taxes and other local authority revenue; |
|
— |
the award of those services to operators who fail to satisfy the minimum requirement of share capital is to be null and void, and |
|
— |
it is prohibited to obtain new contracts or participate in tender procedures for the operation of those services until the abovementioned requirement to adjust share capital has been met. |
