Questions referred







1.


Are Article 49 et seq. TFEU and Article 56 et seq. TFEU and the principles laid down by the Court of Justice of the European Union in [Joined Cases C-72/10 and C-77/10 Costa and Cifone [2012] ECR I-0000] to be interpreted as precluding a call for tenders for the award of licences with a period of validity shorter than that of licences awarded in the past, where that tendering procedure has been launched in order to remedy the consequences of the unlawful exclusion of a certain number of operators from earlier tendering procedures?










2.


Are Article 49 et seq. TFEU and Article 56 et seq. TFEU and the principles laid down by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Costa and Cifone to be interpreted as precluding the possibility that sufficient justification for the shorter period of validity of licences offered for tender, as compared with licences awarded in the past, can be found in the requirement for the licensing system to be reorganised through the alignment of licence expiry dates?

Concessione di aiuti alla Cooperativa Pescatori Grado di Grado (GO) per acquisto di attrezzature nell'ambito di una azione collettiva

Legal basis: 

Legge regionale n. 14 del 25 luglio 2012, articolo 2, commi 11-18. Decreto n. 3116 del 07 dicembre 2012 del Direttore del Servizio caccia, risorse ittiche e biodiversità della Direzione centrale risorse rurali, agroalimentari e forestali

Web address where the full text of the scheme can be found: www.regione.fvg.it
Motivation: At this stage of the EFF programming period 2007–2013, it would be difficult to allocate the resources still available under Axis III (for which the Fruili-Venezia-Giulia region is responsible as the Intermediate Body) for collective measures, particularly following the selection of the Fruili-Venezia-Giulia Coastal Action Group (CAG) by means of a ranked call for tenders issued in June 2012. Indeed, following the implementation of Axis IV of the EFF and the approval of the CAG’s Local Development Plan and associated financing plan, almost all the resources still available under Axis III will be advertised, with preference given to the CAG.
