Grounds

1 As to the facts of the case, reference is made to the application made on 18 July 1988 in which the Commission requested the Court to order, by way of interim relief in accordance with Article 84 ( 2 ) of the Rules of Procedure, the suspension of the award of a public-works contract by the "Consorzio per la costruzione e la gestione di un impianto per l' incenerimento e la trasformazione dei rifiuti solidi urbani ".

2 By an order dated 20 July 1988, the President of the Court, by way of an interlocutory decision, ordered the Italian Republic, as a conservatory measure, to adopt all the necessary measures to suspend the award of the aforementioned public-works contract until 15 September 1988, or such other date as might be fixed by a subsequent order of the Court, and to lodge its observations on the Commission' s application before 5 September 1988 .

3 The Italian Republic lodged its observations on 2 September 1988 .

4 In the light of the observations submitted by the Italian Republic, it proves to be necessary to hear the oral explanations of the parties . As a hearing cannot take place until after 15 September 1988, it is appropriate to extend the aforementioned conservatory measures until the date of the final order in these interlocutory proceedings .

by way of interlocutory decision,

( 1 ) The Italian Republic shall adopt all the necessary measures to suspend the award of a public-works contract by the "Consorzio per la construzione e la gestione di un impianto per l' incenerimento e trasformazione dei rifiuti solidi urbani", whose headquarters are at the offices of the City of La Spezia, until the date of the final order in these interlocutory proceedings;
