‘The CJEU case C-348/22 Comune di Ginosa, which focuses on the compatibility of the Italian regime for the renewal of state-owned maritime concessions with EU law, has brought back to the centre of the (legal and political) debate the ‘legal certainty’ in the regulation and exploitation of services in the internal market, in cases when a selection among several candidates is needed according to Article 12 of Services Directive (2006/123/CE). According to Recital 39 of the Services Directive, “[the] concept of ‘authorisation scheme’ should cover, inter alia, the administrative procedures for granting authorisations, licences, approvals or concessions” and they should not be qualified as “concessions” within the meaning the Directive on the award of concession contracts (Recital 15, 2014/23/EU). ‘ (Alessia Monica)
