Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the 9 November 2004 letter was an appealable cantonal decision under Art. 84 OG
Decisione estratta
No. The letter was only an administrative statement tied to the federal bestowal procedure, not an independent binding award decision.
Motivazione estratta
The relevant transport-service allocation was governed by federal ordering rules under the EBG and ADFV. Once a dispute arose, only the UVEK could issue an appealable decision determining the contracting operator. The cantonal ruling and later withdrawal statement were therefore merely an expression of intent and lost independent legal effect.
