Operative part

Operative part

Council Directive 92/50/EEC of 18 June 1992 relating to the coordination of procedures for the award of public service contracts and Council Directive 93/36/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts do not apply to a contract concluded between a local authority and a person legally distinct from it, where the local authority exercises over the person concerned a control which is similar to that which it exercises over its own departments and, at the same time, that person carries out the essential part of its activities with the controlling local authority or authorities.

Article 6 of Directive 92/50 is applicable only if there are laws, regulations or administrative provisions which have been published and which grant the beneficiary an exclusive right concerning the subject‑matter of the contract awarded.
