Questions referred
|
1. |
Does Community law and, in particular, Article 6 of Directive 93/37/EEC (1) (subsequently, Article 4 of Directive 2004/18/EC (2)) preclude, in principle, a provision of national law (such as Article 10(1)(a) of Law No 109/1994 (subsequently, Article 34(1)(a) of Legislative Decree No 163/2006), which reserves the right to participate in public tendering procedures to undertakings which are engaged in a commercial activity, thereby excluding certain operators (such as civil-law partnerships) which do not ordinarily and predominantly engage in that type of activity; or is that prohibition reasonable and non-discriminatory in the light of the special rules governing civil-law partnerships and their special asset structure? |
In the event that the first question is answered in the negative, the following question is also referred to the Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling:

2. |
Does Community law and, in particular, Article 6 of Directive 93/37/EEC (subsequently, Article 4 of Directive 2004/18/EC) and the principle of the freedom of entities admitted to participate in tendering procedures to adopt a particular legal form, allow the national legislature to place limits on the legal capacity of a contractor (or, according to the definition given in Directive 2004/18/EC, an economic operator), in the light of the special features of the rules of national law governing such contractors, prohibiting them from participating in public tendering procedures, or is such a restriction in breach of the principles of reasonableness and non-discrimination? |
