         Questions referred
      
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Is Article 57(4)(d) of Directive 2014/24/EU (1) to be interpreted as meaning that the contracting authority must have sufficiently plausible indications to conclude that the economic operator has infringed Article 101 TFEU?
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Is Article 57(4) of Directive 2014/24/EU to be interpreted as exhaustively regulating the optional grounds for exclusion in the sense that the principle of equal treatment (Article 18(1) of that directive) cannot preclude the award of a contract where tenders are submitted that are neither independent nor autonomous?
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  Is Article 18(1) of Directive 2014/24/EU to be interpreted as precluding the award of a contract to undertakings which constitute an economic unit and have each submitted a tender?
               
            
         (1)  Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC (OJ 2014 L 94, p. 65).
