      The first subparagraph of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on combating late payment in commercial transactions must be interpreted as meaning that a public works contract constitutes a commercial transaction which leads to the delivery of goods or the provision of services within the meaning of that provision and, therefore, falls within the material scope of that directive.
