The prolongation of the initial Conventions
(26)
Article 26 of Decree Law No 207 of 30 December 2008, converted into Law No 14 of 27 February 2009, laid down the prolongation of the initial Conventions (including the one applicable to Laziomar) which were initially to expire on 31 December 2008 for one year, until 31 December 2009.
(27)
Article 19-ter of Decree Law No 135 of 25 September 2009, converted into Law No 166 of 20 November 2009 (‘the 2009 Law’), laid down that, in view of the privatisation of the Tirrenia Group companies, the shareholding of the regional companies (except for Siremar) would be transferred from parent company Tirrenia without any consideration being paid as follows: (a) Caremar would initially be transferred to the Region of Campania.
The latter would subsequently transfer to the Region of Lazio Caremar’s business operating the transport connections with the Pontino archipelago on a standalone basis under the name Laziomar; (b) Saremar would be transferred to the Region of Sardinia; and (c) Toremar would be transferred to the Region of Tuscany.
(28)
The 2009 Law also specified that new Conventions would be agreed between Italy and Tirrenia and Siremar by 31 December 2009.
Likewise, the regional services would be enshrined in draft Public Service Contracts, to be agreed between the Regions of Sardinia and Tuscany and Saremar and Toremar respectively by 31 December 2009 and between the regions of Campania and Lazio and Caremar and Laziomar respectively by 28 February 2010.
The draft new Conventions / Public Service Contracts would be put up for tender with the companies themselves and signed with the buyers upon finalisation of the privatisation of each of those companies (18).
(29)
To that end, the 2009 Law further prolonged the initial Conventions (including the one applicable to Caremar) from 1 January 2010 until 30 September 2010.

The 2009 Law also set annual compensation ceilings for the operation of the services as of 2010 (under the prolongation of the initial Conventions, as well as under the new Conventions and Public Service Contracts), at a total of EUR 184 942 251, as follows:
