34Thus, Article 2f(1)(b) of Directive 89/665 does not preclude provisions of national law such as those at issue in the main proceedings which provide that an action seeking to have declared ineffective a public contract concluded without prior publication of a contract notice or prior call for competition must be brought within a period of six months with effect from the day following the date of award of that contract, in so far as the date of award of the contract corresponds to the date of conclusion of the contract. Such provisions also correspond to the aim pursued by Article 2f(1)(b) of Directive 89/665 set out in particular in recital 27 in the preamble to Directive 2007/66, according to which the limitation on the enforceability of the ineffectiveness of a contract should be respected.
