ABSTRACT

It is a well-established principle in Community law that there can be no requirement that the economic operator or supplier must be able to provide the full service only using its own resources. The directive precludes any national legislation, ‘which prohibits, except in special circumstances, reliance on the capacities of more than one auxiliary undertaking in order to fulfil the selection criteria concerning the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional ability of an economic operator’.1
