(Case C‑12/07)

Preliminary references – Inadmissibility

Preliminary rulings – Admissibility – Questions referred without sufficient explanation of the factual and legislative context (Art. 234 EC; Statute of the Court of Justice, Art. 23) (see paras 16-18)

Re:

Reference for a preliminary ruling – Tribunale Civile di Genova – Direct attribution of the management of public services and infrastructures to a company with a controlling role in the market concerned – Attribution to that company of the right to determine the content of concession contracts existing between its own competitors and the State to determine those contracts – Compatibility with Arts 43, 49, 82, 86 and 87 EC

Operative part

The reference for a preliminary ruling by the Tribunale di Gevova, by decision of 9 January 2007, is clearly inadmissible.
