                  1.
               
               
                  Articles 1(10) and 11 of Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1336/2013 of 13 December 2013, must be interpreted as not precluding a provision of national law which restricts the organisational autonomy of small local authorities to use a central purchasing body to only two exclusively public organisational models, without the participation of private persons or undertakings.
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Articles 1(10) and 11 of Directive 2004/18, as amended by Regulation No 1336/2013, must be interpreted as not precluding a provision of national law which limits the scope of action of central purchasing bodies set up by local authorities to the territory of those authorities.
