      Operative part of the order
   
   Articles 49 TFEU and 56 TFEU and the principles of equal treatment and effectiveness must be interpreted as meaning that they do not preclude national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which provides for the organisation of a new call for tenders concerning licences with a period of validity shorter than that of licences awarded in the past on account of a reorganisation of the system through the alignment of licence expiry dates.
