39As European Union law now stands, service concession contracts are not governed by any of the directives by which the Union legislature has regulated the field of public procurement. However, the public authorities concluding them are bound to comply with the fundamental rules of the EC Treaty in general, including Article 49 EC and, in particular, the principles of equal treatment and of non-discrimination on the ground of nationality and with the consequent obligation of transparency (see, to that effect, Case C-324/98 Telaustria and Telefonadress [2000] ECR I-10745, paragraphs 60 to 62; Case C-206/08 Eurawasser [2009] ECR I-8377, paragraph 44; and Case C-91/08 Wall [2010] ECR I-2815, paragraph 33).
