Question referred

Do Article 47(2) and Article 48(3) of Directive 2004/18/EC, (1) as replaced by Article 63 of Directive 2014/24/EU, (2) preclude national rules which exclude, or may be construed as excluding, any possibility for an economic operator, that is to say a tenderer, of appointing another undertaking to replace the undertaking originally relied upon as ‘auxiliary undertaking’ where the latter no longer has the capacity to participate or that capacity is diminished, thus resulting in the economic operator being excluded from the tendering procedure for reasons that are neither objectively nor subjectively imputable to it?
