    Operative part

    European Union law, in particular Article 6 of Council Directive 93/37/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, as amended by Commission Directive 2001/78/EC of 13 September 2001, precludes national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which prohibits an undertaking such as a civil partnership having the status of ‘contractor’ within the meaning of Directive 93/37 from participating in public procurement procedures solely on the ground of its legal form.
