Questions referred







1.


Is there a matter relating to a consumer contract within the meaning of Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation No 44/2001 (1) if a trader has, by the design of his website, directed his activities to another Member State and a consumer domiciled in the territory of that Member State, on the basis of the information on the trader’s website, travels to where his business is located and the parties sign the contract there,
or
does Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation No 44/2001 presuppose in that case that a distance contract is concluded?










2.


If Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation No 44/2001 is to be interpreted as meaning that in that case the contract must in principle be a distance contract:
Does the consumer jurisdiction under Article 15(1)(c) in conjunction with Article 16(2) of Regulation No 44/2001 apply if the parties to the contract enter into a distance pre-contractual commitment which subsequently flows directly into the conclusion of the contract?

Question referred

Is there a case of force majeure within the meaning of Regulation No 3665/87, laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products, (1) where the competent authorities fail to provide requested information, or deliberately communicate erroneous information to an economic operator, thereby distorting its assessment of the reliability of a contractor who is suspected of fraud?

Question referred

Do the principles of equality of the parties, of non-discrimination and of protection of competition in public tendering procedures referred to in Directive 89/665/EEC, (1) as … amended by Directive 2007/66/EC, (2) preclude the most recent case-law (the ‘diritto vivente’) as laid down in Decision No 4 of [7 April] 2011 of the Plenary Assembly of the Consiglio di Stato, according to which the cross action, which seeks to challenge recognition of the legitimacy of the applicant in the main action by contesting its admission to the tendering procedure, must of necessity be heard before the main action and carry compelling implications for examination of the main action, even in cases where the applicant in the main action has an interest in the recommencement of the entire selection procedure (interesse strumentale) and irrespective of the number of competitors which took part in the procedure, with specific reference to cases where only two participants remained in play in that procedure (namely, the applicant in the main action and the applicant in the cross-action, the latter being also the successful tenderer), each seeking to have the other excluded on the grounds that its tender failed to meet the minimum requirements for the tender to be considered suitable?
