               Do the care and treatment of emergency patients in an ambulance by a medical technician/paramedic and the care and treatment of patients in a patient transport ambulance by a paramedic/medical assistant constitute ‘civil defence, civil protection, and danger prevention services’ within the meaning of Article 10(h) of Directive 2014/24/EU (1) which come under CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes 75252000-7 (Rescue services) and 85143000-3 (Ambulance services)?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Can Article 10(h) of Directive 2014/24/EU be understood as meaning that ‘non-profit organisations or associations’ include, in particular, aid organisations that are recognised under national law as civil defence and civil protection organisations?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Are ‘non-profit organisations or associations’ within the meaning of Article 10(h) of Directive 2014/24/EU those whose mission is fulfilled in the achievement of tasks in the public good, which do not operate with a view to making a profit and which reinvest any profits in order to realise the mission of the organisation?
            
         
               4.
            
            
               Is the transport of a patient in an ambulance while care is provided by a paramedic/medical assistant (so-called qualified patient transport) a ‘patient transport ambulance service’ within the meaning of Article 10(h) of Directive 2014/24/EU, which is not covered by the exception and to which Directive 2014/24/EU applies?
