Applicant: Consorci Sanitari del Maresme

Questions referred







1)


For the purposes of Directive 2004/18/EC (1) of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts, must public administrations be regarded as public entities?










2)


If so, for the purposes of Directive 2004/18/EC of 31 March 2004, must public administrations be regarded as economic operators and accordingly as being permitted to participate in public tendering procedures?










3)


If so, for the purposes of Directive 2004/18/EC of 31 March 2004, may and must public administrations be included in the official lists of approved contractors, suppliers or service providers or be certified by certification bodies established under public or private law, known under Spanish national law as a business classification system?










4)


For the purposes of Directive 2004/18/EC of 31 March 2004, has Royal Legislative Decree 3/2011 of 14 November 2011 adopting the consolidated text of the Law on Public Sector Contracts incorrectly transposed that directive into Spanish law and, if that is the case, has the Spanish legislature, through Articles 62 and 65 of Royal Legislative Decree 3/2011 of 14 November 2011, limited the access of public administrations to the business classification registers?










5)


If public administrations may participate in tenders but may not be accepted for business classification — in accordance with Directive 2004/18/EC of 31 March 2004 — by what means may they establish their eligibility to contract?

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: István Tivadar Szabó

Defendant: Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal Közép-dunántúli Regionális Adó Főigazgatósága

Questions referred







1.


In administrative-law proceedings the object of which is judicial review, in the context of an action brought by the individual concerned, of a decision adopted by an administrative authority of the Member State, is the national court obliged to consider whether the provisions of national law on which the administrative decision is founded are contrary to any provision of EU law which is directly applicable and which is also relevant in the case concerned?










2.


If question 1 is answered in the affirmative, does that mean that the national court is obliged to do so of its own motion or only in the event of one of the parties expressly pleading an infringement of EU law?










3.


May Articles 26(2) TFEU, 35 TFEU and 56 TFEU be interpreted as precluding rules of a Member State such as those in Paragraphs 24/C and 24/D of the General Tax Law where, under such rules, a Hungarian company which carries on business partly in other Member States of the European Union may not appoint as a senior executive a Hungarian citizen who has previously held a senior executive position in another Hungarian company which carries on business in the internal market, solely on the ground that other Hungarian company has accumulated a tax debt of a certain level, when the accumulation of that debt is not attributable to that Hungarian citizen in his capacity as a former senior executive?
