Operative part

The Court:

1.

Declares that, in so far as the Comune di l’Aquila (Commune of Aquila) awarded a public works contract concerning the design and construction of a rubber-tyred tramway for public transport in that town by means of a procedure different from those laid down for the award of public works contracts by Council Directive 93/37/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive;

2.

Orders the Italian Republic to pay the costs.
