44It thus follows from Article 2(1) of Directive 2011/7, read in the light of its context and of the objectives pursued by that directive, that where a public authority, within the meaning of Article 2(2) of Directive 2011/7, is the creditor of an undertaking, being owed a sum of money, the relations between those two entities are not covered by the concept of a ‘commercial transaction’ employed in that provision, and are accordingly outside the scope of that directive.
