Respondents: Societatea Națională a Apelor Minerale and Agenția Națională pentru Resurse Minerale

Questions referred







1.


Is Article 106(1) TFEU to be interpreted as precluding provisions of national legislation, such as those at issue in the main proceedings, which maintain the direct, original and non-competitive award, to a company whose capital is wholly owned by the State, of licences for the exploitation of mineral water springs by means of successive and unlimited extensions of exclusive licences (available to the state-owned company)?










2.


Are Article 16 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, Articles 49 and 119 TFEU, and Article 3 of Directive 2009/54/EC on the exploitation and marketing of natural mineral waters (1) to be interpreted as precluding provisions of national legislation, such as those at issue in the main proceedings and mentioned above, which introduce an unjustified restriction on the freedom to conduct a business, including the freedom of establishment?






(1)  Directive 2009/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the exploitation and marketing of natural mineral waters (OJ 2009 L 164, p. 45).
