16The French Government observes for its part that, with respect to the second call for tenders, the order for reference mentions the town of Varkaus both as contracting authority and as main contractor. In those circumstances, the Government doubts the need for a reference, in that, first, at the time of publication of that call for tenders Taitotalo did not yet have the legal personality required by Directive 92/59 and, second, the town of Varkaus as a local authority is subject to the provisions of the directive in any event.
