58It is apparent from the file submitted to the Court that, for the duration of its contract with the Apulia Region, FSE has the exclusive right to operate the railway infrastructure covered by that contract in order to provide public railway transport services for passengers. However, in order to establish that this was a market for which competition was excluded, it would be necessary to show that the Apulia Region was required, by legislative or regulatory measures, to award the operation of that infrastructure and those services exclusively to that undertaking (see, by analogy, judgment of 29 July 2019, Azienda Napoletana Mobilità, C‑659/17, EU:C:2019:633, paragraph 38). No information in the file submitted to the Court establishes the existence of such an obligation, with the result that it appears that that region would have been equally free to award that operation and those services to another provider.
