34As regards, first of all, Article 20(2) (c) of Directive 93/38, it follows from the case-law that the application of that provision is subject to two cumulative conditions, namely, first, that there are technical reasons connected to the works which are the subject-matter of the contract and, second, that those technical reasons make it absolutely necessary to award that contract to a particular contractor (see, to that effect, in the context of Directives 71/305 and 93/37, Case C-57/94 Commission v Italy, paragraph 24, and Case C-385/02 Commission v Italy, paragraphs 18, 20 and 21).
