I servizi pubblici locali di rilevanza economica: lo stato dell'arte in prospettiva giuridica

The Italian Constitutional Court has declared the illegitimacy of the art. 4, l. n. 148/2011 that established the general discipline of local public services of economic importance within the Italian Legal System; particularly, the Constitutional Court noted that such discipline was adopted in violation of the prohibition of restoring the law abrogated by popular referendum of 12-13 June 2011. Consequently, in view of the declaration of unconstitutionality, local public services of economic importance directly apply the European rules on the protection of competition.
