Questions referred







1.


Is an arrangement by which a municipal contracting authority concludes with a private undertaking in the form of a company which is separate from it a contract establishing a new undertaking in the form of a share company, on an equal share basis both in terms of ownership and of power of control, from which the municipal contracting authority commits itself, when setting up the company, to purchasing occupational health and wellbeing services for its own staff, on an overall assessment, an arrangement which must be put out to tender, on the ground that the general contract is a contract for the procurement of services within the meaning of Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the coordination of procedures for the award of public supply contracts and public service contracts (1), or is the arrangement to be regarded as the establishment of a joint venture and the transfer of the business activity of a municipal enterprise to which that directive and the consequent obligation to put out to tender are not applicable?










2.


Should any significance in this case also be attached






(a)


to the fact that the City of Oulu, as a municipal contracting authority, has undertaken to acquire in return for consideration the services referred to above over a four-year transitional period, after which the municipal contracting authority intends, according to its decision, once again to put out to tender the occupational health care services it requires;










(b)


to the fact that, prior to the arrangement in question, most of the turnover of the municipal enterprise that was part of the City of Oulu organisation came from occupational health care services other than those produced for the City’s own employees;










(c)


to the fact that the founding of the new company has been organised with the intention of transferring as a capital contribution the activity of the municipal enterprise, which comprises the production of occupational health care services both for the City’s employees and for private customers?

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Maurizio Polisseni

Defendant: A.S.L. No 14 V.C.O.Omegna

Questions referred







1.


Does Article 43 EC and, in any event, Community law on competition, preclude a national rule such as that laid down in Article 1 of Law No 475 of 2 April 1968 and Article 13 of Presidential Decree No 1275 of 21 August 1971, in so far as it makes authorisation to transfer a pharmacy from one set of premises to another, even though it remains within the authorised area, subject to the requirement that it must be located at a distance of at least 200 metres from other similar establishments, measured by the shortest route on foot from door to door; in particular, are the restrictions on freedom of establishment imposed in that rule at odds with the reasons of public interest which could justify such restrictions and are they not in any event inappropriate for the purpose of meeting those interests?










2.


Does the principle of proportionality, which must be observed by any legitimate restriction on freedom of establishment and competition, in any event preclude a restriction on a pharmacist’s right to engage in free enterprise such as that resulting from the rules on minimum distance referred to in the first question?










3.


Do Articles 152 EC and 153 EC, which impose a high level of protection on human health and consumer interests as a matter of priority, preclude a national rule such as that laid down in Article 1 of Law No 475 of 2 April 1968 and Article 13 of Presidential Decree No 1275 of 21 August 1971, in so far as it makes authorisation to transfer a pharmacy from one set of premises to another, even though it remains within the authorised area, subject to the requirement that it be located at a distance of at least 200 metres from other similar establishments, measured by the shortest route on foot from door to door, without any further consideration being given to the customers’ interests or to the requirement of efficient local distribution of services relating to the protection of health?
