Question referred

Does recital 14 in conjunction with Articles 19(1) and 80(2) of Directive 2014/24/EU 1 preclude a legal provision such as Article 46 of Legislative Decree No 50 of 18 April 2016, by which Italy transposed Directives 2014/23/EU, 2 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU 3 into national law, which permits only economic operators created in the legal forms indicated in that provision to take part in tendering procedures for the award of ‘architectural and engineering services’, which has the effect of excluding from participation in such procedures economic operators that perform such services using a different legal form?
