3Until 1 June 2002, SEA itself provided the ground handling services at Milan-Linate and Milan-Malpensa airports. Following the entry into force of the decreto legislativo n. 18 – Attuazione della direttiva 96/67/CE relativa al libero accesso al mercato dei servizi di assistenza a terra negli aeroporti della Comunità (Legislative Decree No 18 implementing Directive 96/67/EC on access to the groundhandling market at Community airports) of 13 January 1999 (Ordinary Supplement to GURI No 28 of 4 February 1999), in accordance with the obligation laid down in Article 4(1) of Council Directive 96/67/EC of 15 October 1996 on access to the groundhandling market at Community airports (OJ 1996 L 272, p. 36), SEA separated, in accounting and legal terms, its ground handling activities from its other activities. To that end, it set up a new company, wholly controlled by it and named SEA Handling SpA, which was charged with providing ground handling services at Milan-Linate and Milan-Malpensa airports from 1 June 2002.
