Questions referred
In the case of an award procedure under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 1 in conjunction with Directive 2004/18/EC 2 or Directive 2014/24/EU, 3 in principle are the provisions of those directives alone applicable, with the result that any provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 which derogate from those directives are not to be applied?
In the case of an award procedure under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 in conjunction with Directive 2004/18/EC or Directive 2014/24/EU, is the permissibility of subcontracting therefore governed exclusively by the rules developed by the Court of Justice in connection with Directive 2004/18/EC and by the provisions of Article 63(2) of Directive 2014/24/EU or can a contracting authority, in derogation from the foregoing, stipulate a percentage rate of self-provision (measured in timetable kilometres), in accordance with Article 4(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, even in the case of an award procedure of the kind mentioned above?
In the event that Article 4(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 is applicable to award procedures under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 in conjunction with Directive 2004/18/EC or Directive 2014/24/EU, does the determination of the self-provision rate lie within the discretion of the contracting authority, taking into account recital 19 in the preamble to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, with the result that the requirement by the contracting authority of a self-provision rate of 70%, measured in timetable kilometres, is justifiable?
