33As European Union law now stands, service concession contracts are not governed by any of the directives by which the legislature has regulated the field of public procurement (see Coname, paragraph 16, and Case C-347/06 ASM Brescia [2008] ECR I-5641, paragraph 57). However, the public authorities concluding them are bound to comply with the fundamental rules of the EC Treaty, including Articles 43 EC and 49 EC, and with the consequent obligation of transparency (see, to that effect, Telaustria and Telefonadress, paragraphs 60 to 62; Coname, paragraphs 16 to 19; and Parking Brixen, paragraphs 46 to 49).
