Judgment_paragraph 25 · Ciclat Soc. Coop. v Consip SpA and Autorità per la Vigilanza sui Contratti Pubblici di lavori, servizi e forniture (C-199/15)

25First of all, it should be noted that, as is apparent from the order for reference, Directive 2004/18 is applicable to the facts at issue in the main proceedings. In addition, it should be pointed out that the provisions of that directive must, in accordance with recital 2 thereof, be interpreted in accordance with the principles of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services as well as with those deriving therefrom. It is, therefore, not necessary to examine separately the national legislation at issue in the main proceedings in the light of Articles 49 and 56 TFEU.
