Judgment_paragraph 24 · Privater Rettungsdienst und Krankentransport Stadler v Zweckverband für Rettungsdienst und Feuerwehralarmierung Passau (C-274/09)

24It follows from a comparison of the definitions of a public service contract and a service concession provided, respectively, by Article 1(2)(a) and (d) and by Article 1(4) of Directive 2004/18, that the difference between a public service contract and a service concession lies in the consideration for the provision of services. A service contract involves consideration which, although it is not the only consideration, is paid directly by the contracting authority to the service provider (see, to that effect, Case C-458/03 Parking Brixen [2005] ECR I-8585, paragraph 39, and Commission v Italy, paragraphs 33 and 40), while, for a service concession, the consideration for the provision of services consists in the right to exploit the service, either alone, or together with payment (see, to that effect, Case C-206/08 Eurawasser [2009] ECR I-8377, paragraph 51).
