With according to action of reasons added, deposited in date 14 \ 5 \ 2010 recurrent part extended the same censorships to an ulterior bringing action oral of temporary award.

With an action of added reasons of incident resource resistant part also restated the foretold censorships also adverse such ulterior impugnativa, deducing the following censorships: violation of art. the 38 cit and the point 4.1.b) and 5,1 lett a) of the ban, DM 585 \ 1995, for lack declarations of the prosecuting attorneys with consequent exclusion of ATI grendi; analogous profiles for lack of the subscription of declaration on criminal record, oltretutto important as concerning the violation of norms on immigration; analogous profiles in order to a sentence for environmental crime of Giselda Pastorino, important crime on the professional morals and in order to which the harbour authority has not carried out the due verifications; analogous profiles for the lack of the necessary declaration about the subsistence or insussistenza of relationships of control or social connection, that is as the returned declaration, in terms of insussistenza, were in truthful as the recurrent today's society are controlled by Rebora Industries, with this hiding a relationship of important control to the aims of the operativity of the exclusion cause 38 sub art. lett c in order to stopped administrator Spinelli; analogous profiles of censorship for lack of requirement of turnover demanded from point 4,2 of the ban, against the irrelevancy of the activity carried out from the two various enterprises of the grouping from not qualificabile Grendi as terminalistica; violation of the ban point 5,2 last paragraph for incoherence with the harbour town development plan, as assessed moreover also from the contest organ; violation of point 9,2 of the ban and art. the 3 l. 241 cit., excess to be able for contraddittorietà, as the serious deficiencies of the today's offer of the recurrent one, listed in the minutes n. 9 of 26 \ 10 \ 2009 from p 13 in then, would have had to carry to the exclusion.

In truth, in such center the censorships, which restated that deducted adverse ban, came in such center rimodulate in the following terms:

To the public audience of the 7 \ 4 \ 2011, which it was reached on request of dismissal of the parts, the cause passed in decision.

With the independent resource n. 11 \ 2010 Grendi, which enterprise operator of the port and concessionaire of an area of 50.000 sqm to Libya bridge, appealled the same ban of contest deducing the following reasons:

- analogous profiles of censorship for the inadvisability and uselessness to put to contest an entire compendium let alone the previewed possibility to introduce also offered in extension respect to other concessions already you anticipate.

The intimata authority was formed in judgment against deducing point by point and asking the refusal for the encumbrance.

With action of added reasons deposited in date 21 \ 5 \ the 2010 recurrent enterprise, which participant in ATI with Derna and Pastorino to the contest indetta from the appealled ban, appealled the taken part temporary award in favour of the today's controinteressata part, extending in via derivative the already deducted defects.

With deposited incident resource in date 7 \ 6 \ 2010 controinteressata part contested for such way the lacked exclusion the recurrent one, deducing the following censorships: violation of the articles. 5.1.a) of the ban, 38 d.lgs. 163 cit. and 3 l. 241 \ 1990 for lack, formal, of declaration for a subject stopped from the charge in the three years, let alone for substantial lack of the necessary dissosciation in relation to taken part sentence of a moreover having subject the control of the same Derna society; violation of art. the 18 l. 84 cit. and various profiles of excess to be able for lack of requirement of admission being concerned the volume of transactions, not having the recurrent societies a suitable structure to justify the allocation of a so immense compendium, analogous to the reason of main resource; : violation of art. the 38 cit and the point 4.1.b) and 5,1 lett a) of the ban, DM 585 \ 1995, for lack declarations of the prosecuting attorneys with consequent exclusion of ATI grendi; ulterior identical censorships to those already placed made up of the incident resource and of the relative reasons added to the resource n. 6 of 2010, the above-referenced ones.

After some disposed dismissals on request of the parts, also such resource passed in decision to the audience of 7 \ 4 \ 2011.

With resource n. 261 \ the 2010 same recurrent Grendi also appealled the admission to the contest of ATI composed from the controinteressata society, deducing the following reasons, analogous to some already deducted from Derna with the first resource: lack of the subscription of the declaration sets up from art. the 38 cit. and 5,1 of the ban; lack of the same declaration in the concerning part the subjects stopped from the charge in the three years precedence.

Analogous, controinteressata part reproposed in such center the already deducted reasons of incident resource in the precedence encumbrances.

After some disposed dismissals on request of the parts, also such resource passed in decision to the audience of 7 \ 4 \ 2011.


STRAIGHT

1. Controversy anticipates has to object the impugnativa of the actions of contest, concerning the confidence in concession of the marine compendium in question, by the enterprises grouped in the a.t.i turned out succumbs; in particular, the disputes follow the course of the contest, turning out directed adverse the ban, the actions of admission of the two competitors (today's private counterparts), the temporary award and, at last, that definitive one.

The contest in dispute concerns the concorsuale procedure of an area of the port of Genoa, already object of complex judicial events, in order to which the harbour Authority has been determined to proceed ex novo to confronts competitive in the terms sets up from the principles by now consolidated in topic of confidence of concessions. The harbour administration therefore has induced to the publication of the ban, appealled also it in this center, with which it has been indetta the selection in question to which has only participated the private parts today in cause, constituted in opposite groupings with other enterprises. The outcome of the procedure has been favorable to the today's controinteressata part, yes that the recurrent one has extended the dispute, already moved to the ban, the actions of contest; impugnativa to which the harbour authority and the controinteressata one are opposite; both have carried out a defensive activity, while the highest bidder has proposed also of the reasons of incident resource.

2. In via preliminary matter it is necessary therefore to arrange the reunion for the obvious connection is subjective that objective of the resources, so as reassumed in the novellistic one in fact: in the first direction, to the formal identity also of the resistant parts (harbour Authority and society highest bidder) the substantial identity of the recurrent parts and the relative interests is accompanied, in quality of authorized harbour enterprises to operate in the interested within and participants to the contest in the same grouping; in the second direction the identity emerges to the evidence as well as of the burdened actions of the deducted censorships, it is in main way that incident.

3. Parimenti in via preliminary matter goes declared inadmissible for defect of concrete and current interest to the decision the reasons of adverse resource proposed the various actions from the ban and the definitive award. In particular, in fact, no usefullnesses the parts could draw from the eventual cancellation of actions lacking in concrete lesività of the set in action interests, which the admission in contest of a competitor and the temporary award: in order to the first the eventual disputes, not deductible whereby only adverse the ban, cannot that to be reflected in it confronts of the only in concrete terms lesivo action of the procedure, the definitive award; in order to the second, the same one assumes nature of endoprocedimentale action, to still unstable and interim effects, sicché is inidoneo to produce to the definitive lesion of the enterprise not turned out single highest bidder that verification with the definitive award, which does not constitute merely confermativo action of the first (cfr. eg. Council It are, sez. III, 11 March 2011, n. 1581) and regarding which they are only concentrated are the lesivi effects that the deducted disputes. Incidently, to this last care it goes evidenced as the same trial-like discipline in topic of contracts publics, even though not directly applicable, evidences in terms of principle with reference to the impugnativa of contest procedures, which that under investigation, as (besides exclusion and ban) “all the other actions of the confidence procedures are appealled with the definitive award” (cfr. art. 44 codicil 3 lett f l. 88 \ 2009, bringing delegation for the rerun performance of “new” the directive”).

Consequently, analogous rising follow the reasons of adverse incident resource proposed such actions.

4. In via preliminary matter the concerning issue is always set the order of discourse of the deducted reasons during incident resource regarding those of main resource, in species against the nature of contest with two single competitors.

In purpose, the thesis already supported from the College finds comfort in recene the reassumed prevailing jurisprudence in the decision returned from the Plenary session of the Council of State with the sentence n. 4 of 2011, to tenor of which the incident resource, directed to contest recurrent legitimacy of the main one, by means of the censorship of its admission to the contest procedure, must be always examined priority, also if recurrent the main one encloses the instrumental interest to the renovation of the entire procedure. It independently dictates sussiste logical priorities from the number of the participants to the selective procedure, from the type of recurrent censorship shown from the incident one and the demands formulated from the resistant administration.

In general terms, the same prevailing jurisprudence considers that the priority examination of the main resource is admitted, for reasons of trial-like economy, in case is obvious its infondatezza, inammissibilità, inadmissibility or improcedibilità; this faculty cannot be denied, a priori, that its exercise does not affect the right of defense of the controinteressato one and always allows a effective acceleration of the definition of the controversy. In truth, if of species the reasons of adverse main resource the award, even though after all not susceptible of acceptation, do not seem to assume connoted of the absolute evidence being presupposed relative refusal a groundbreaking and analytical examination, so that it is necessary to give prominence to the general rule and to take the movements, in examining the impugnativa of the award, from the reasons of incident resource.

This moreover regards the relationship between impugnativa of the award proposed from the private parts, as the deducted reasons upstream adverse the ban assume however priority character; in fact, contesting, at least for the area object of advance concession, the same possibility to proceed to contest, first the fine ones persecuted from the parts are not as well as the renovation how much not the development of the same one, for which the eventual acceptation it would be able to sweep up the entire procedure, according to the famous mechanism of the caducante effect.

5. In the merit it is necessary therefore to take to the movements from the deducted censorships adverse the ban, deducted in terms distinguished by the enterprises then met in the turned out grouping it succumb in contest.

5.1 With the first reason of encumbrance, between those deducted ones from Derna, the bastardy is complained of having put to contest in the immensest compendium also the area consented to the recurrent one of which, therefore, the entrusting authority would not have had the availability.

The infondatezza of the relief emerges is in the light of precedence jurisprudential statuizioni yields in analogous fattispecie, is based on legal considerations logical deriving from the analysis of the actions.

Under the first profile, they go from the judgment recalled the carried out considerations n. 4413 of 2009 of the Council of State which it is sent back integrally.

Under according to profile, if on one side it would be dirimente already the ascertainment that the boasted concession came to expiration in date 31 \ 12 \ 2009 (art 6 of the same one), therefore very before the outcome of the contest in question and the consequent confidence, from the other side in any case the forecast of which to point 2,4 it appears invoked mistimed from recurrent part, as not unreasonable statuizione in species against the peculiar come situation to create with respect to the confidence of the areas in question.

In purpose, dinanzi to the situation of deriving uncertainty overlapping itself of various judicial statuizioni, he is totally comprehensible that the authority called to the fruitful management in the public interest of strategic areas, which those in object, try the system to prefortify themselves regarding eventual the possible future change of the scene taken in consideration. Without to reopen depositors by now concluded, is obvious that, against (mere) the recognized bastardy (and acclarata, although snoops about put in doubt of the interest to act of authorized operators of same the narrow field, on the escort of the consolidated notion of instrumental interest) of a stiff agreement to close a precedence contest for the confidence of the compendium, the main roads that the authority has been found to cover could not that be that of the new contest; in such context, parimenti reasonable are the predisposition of protection clauses, regarding future and uncertain judicial developments, in the perseguimento of the same interests publics, as in truth implicitly desumibile from the same decision of recalled appeal over.

5.2 With according to order of reliefs violation is complained of the protection principle of the confidence ingendered in head to the private one with the public warning dated 23 \ 10 \ 2003 to which the authority it would have had to give course.

The carried out considerations over and the outcome of the impugnativa precedence of the agreement of the 2004 impose the refusal also of such reason, not being able however to attribute importance to a presumed confidence, lacking in necessary requirement such to limit that is to exclude the exercise of the autoritativi powers of confidence of the areas in head to the regolatrice authority. In the balance of the opposite ones the contested clause places, and over recalled, it seems to constitute a reasonable compromise respect to a in truth peculiar situation. Moreover, regarding passing of numerous years the determination of the authority to proceed to a new contest is parimenti logical, in the track of the full respect of the recalled competitive principle over.

5.3 How much up to here evidenced prima facie involves the infondatezza also of the third order of reliefs, with which analogous considerations were extended respect to an action, which the authorization to the anticipated occupation, parimenti lacking in the characters own of the invoked confidence, being limited in the time to a front age to the outcome of the contest in question let alone based on interim foundations lacking in consistency second how much already evidenced.

Moreover, in terms of specific infondatezza of the censorship it goes also evidenced as the which invoked action is former if lacking in stability characters such to guarantee how much wishing from recurrent part: in fact, art. the 38, Cod. Nav. it admits that place to temporary allocation of state property assets can be made, which pear tree, own because intrinsically transitory, are not only able to root deserving confidences of protection in head to the holders, but preludono necessarily to the start of comparative procedures in sight of the definitive allocation (cfr. eg. Council It are, sez. YOU, 29 Decembers 2010, n. 9574).

5.4 At last, parimenti prima facie dismissed of foundation the ban is the fourth order of deducted reliefs from adverse Derna that would be illegitimate in the part in which euro 411,400 for a reason or purpose does not preview clauses of restitution of the anticipated sum of indemnification for the precedence consortium (, 00). In fact, as against correctly deducted from the defense of the harbour Authority no forecast it had on the point to be inserted in the ban, being the issue remittance to the various center of the closing of the relationships eventually opened, also in terms of debit credit, in order to precedence concessori relationships.

5.5 Always adverse the ban also the other society of the grouping then turned out succumbs has proposed a series of censorships that, even though connected to the precedence (so that I am in great part richiamabili also the considerations up to here carried out), go examined separately in order to ulterior deducted profiles.

With a first order of reliefs it is contested is the lack of the object of the concession, not having the authority the availability of the areas, is the uncertainty on the object of the concession as subordinated to the outcome of the hanging judicial events. While in the first direction he is sufficient to recall how much over evidenced in order to the effects of precedence partial concessions (is in terms of time space that), in the second direction hire character dirimente the considerations carried out in order to the reasonableness of the determination adopted from the agency manager of strategic areas under various profiles that, in the perseguimento of the interests publics of which the same one is titular, it has supplied to put to contest the confidence of the same areas in terms, for a back, totally answering to the current state of the same ones and, for another back, dictating stiff clauses to place eventual remedy to supervening of events that, for own nature, assume the uncertainty character.

5.6 With according to order of reliefs the uncertainty of the object of concession against the effects of the previewed tombamento, let alone the violation of the equal visibility against the choice of the ban to indicate as optional element of the offer is contested the presentation of the infrastructural plan.

The censorship is partially inadmissible, relatively to the dispute of profiles that leak from the limits of admissibility of the impugnativa of a general action which are the contest ban, and partially groundless.

Under the first profile, online general the prevailing jurisprudence, made own from the recent decision of the Plenary one already recalled and shared from the College, considers that legitimacy to the resource, if of resources in matter of procedures of contest (analogically applicable to the contest in question), must be correlated to a differentiated situation, in sure way, for effect of the participation to the same procedure dispute object. Such rule, by now consolidated, endures some exceptions, concerning, respective: a) legitimacy of the subject that contrasts, in root, the choice of the contracting out station to call the procedure; b) legitimacy of the economic operator “of field”, that it intends to contest a “direct confidence” or without contest; c) legitimacy of the manifest operator who the intention to appeal a clause of “the excluding” ban, in relation to the illegitimate forecast of determined requisitioned of qualification. Such exceptions, than are connected to requirements and to peculiar reasons, they are however inidonee to determine the affirmation of a new general rule of indifferenziata title of legitimacy to the resource, based on the mere subjective qualification of entrepreneur potentially aspirant to the indiction of a new contest.

In such optical, sub a) legitimacy of the subject that appeals the decision to call a contest is admitted in the single cases in which these it demonstrates an adapted differentiated position, constituted, for example, from the title of an incompatible relationship with the new contested confidence; if of species that sussiste with respect to the reasons foretold in which the same subsistence of the object of contest or the relationship with the concessions in being has come in dispute, not in order to the under investigation relative reasons to the forecasts on the tombamento, that is to clauses of contained and merit of the ban, not regarding the same faculty to proceed to contest.

Insignificant the issue sub b), if of species the problematic one of the direct impugnabilità of the ban is set, sub c), permissible only in relation to cc.dd the excluding clauses. Orbene the reasons under investigation do not regard to the evidence clauses and involving dispositions of the ban not the admission in contest of the enterprises that contest the same clauses. In so far as then instead the clauses of the ban in dispute they can be reverberated on the prosieguo of the contest and therefore on the definitive award, the considerations resume full load vigor that in case of necessity consider the examination of the incident resource preliminary.

Under according to profile, the deducted censorships appear moreover groundless as the ban, after to have previewed the extension of the object of the concession, comprehensive of the watery space, it has previewed the faculty to introduce investment plans infrastructural, in terms sufficiently detailed (cfr. point 2,6 of the ban), previewing then during predetermination of the award criteria the possibility to obtain the maximum score second a measure that, in the limits of union of the ban dispositions, does not appear manifestly unreasonable.

5.7 the considerations up to here carried out return obvious the inammissibilità (not be a matter itself of excluding clauses) and infondatezza also of the remaining deducted defects, is for presumed the fallen back ones that the censured defects of uncertainty of the object would have in order to the previewed criteria of appraisal, is the presumed inadvisability and uselessness to put to contest an entire compendium that is to introduce also offered in extension respect to other concessions already you anticipate.

In truth, to this last care let alone in via more general regarding the disputes which moved to the lex specialis in object, also deeming superable the perplexities deriving from a deducted censorship in terms of inadvisability of the administrative choice (through therefore the resource to a relative concept to the administrative merit, excluded from jurisdictional union anticipates), cannot that to send back itself to how much already statuito from the College in order to the same ban (cfr. sentence 1215 \ 2010): “In truth, if for a back the enforced norm does not place some limitation in the location of the areas to put to contest, for another back they cannot that to be worth the ordinary principles thesis to regulating the exercise of the administrative discrezionalità. If under investigation, against the importance of the port of Genoa let alone of the consistency, positioning and conformation of the interested compendium, the contested determination does not seem neither based on a travesty of the facts neither on elements or vitiated considerations of manifest unreasonableness. The jurisprudence which invoked from recurrent part, if on one side it appears totally condivisibile as supported how much from this court in several statuizioni of the last years in order to the valence of the competitive principles in topic of harbour concessions also (CdS 362 \ 2007 restates that to case did not confirm one pronounces of this Regional Administrative Court), for another back no relief assumes to the fine ones wished, as the mass to contest of an extensive compendium but reasonably modulated regarding the importance of the port and to its conformation, it appears totally respectful of the recalled principles. All the harbour operators authorized persons, eventually grouped, have at least theoretical possibility to participate to the contest; moreover, the harbour Authority must carry out own considerations in order to the location and marking out of the areas in the primary interest not as well as of the enterprises how much of the best operation and yield, is economic that social against the pluralità of interests involved publics, the port and the relative activities. Neither it appears vitiated the previewed possibility to entrust areas in extension to other bordering concessionaire, second an allowed faculty in so far as it is not repealed in part, as it is not repealed in part in the species, to the rule of I confront competitive and to the necessity of possession of necessary requirement”.

6. According to the frame traced in via preliminary matter it is necessary to proceed to the examination of the reasons of incident resource, deducted adverse the definitive award by the controinteressata enterprise and thesis to contest the bastardy of the actions of contest in the part in which the exclusion is not arranged of the constituted grouping, between the others, from the recurrent today's enterprises.

6,1 Al fine of a tidy and complete examination of the same ones is necessary to take the movements from those deducted ones, in analogous terms but not coinciding, much to carry to various outcomes, some of the censorships of main resource, in allegated violation of the articles. 38 d.lgs. 163 cit. and 4 ss. of the ban, relatively to the declarations returned in order to the subsistence of requirement “legal professional moral”.

Also if the contest under investigation, having to object the confidence of a marine state property concession and not a contract contract, were not formally subject to every punctual rule dictated from the code of contracts publics, the ban has persecuted the road of the express callback to the norm in question in the following terms: to point 4,1. of the ban, entitled requisitioned legal professional moral, it is statuito as first point (a) that “the participation is classified to the enterprises in possession of requirement of which to art. the 38… In particular participants they must demonstrate not to be incurred in one of the exclusion causes of which to art. the 38 codicil 1 lett to) b) c) d) and) f) g) h) i) l) m) m-ter and codicil 2 d.lgs. 163/06”.

In truth, to light of the foretold organization of the object of contest and the formulation of the callback to the which invoked norm, an application in compliance with the ratio of the norm prevails some.

Online by right, and such optical, also during contract contest briefly this section has already many times over had a chance for evidence as the analysis of the issue must take the movements from the normative data of art. the 38 cit. invoked, which, after to have dictated (codicil 1) that “is excluded by the participation to the procedures of confidence of the concessions and the contracts of work, supplies and services, neither can be affidatari of subcontracts, and the subjects cannot stipulate relative contracts” that they second find in a series of situations characterized from the norm (a directory resumed from the introduced ban except lett the m quater in the blackberries of the adoption of the same ban), it previews (codicil 2) that the possession of such requirement can be attested by means of declaration.

In general terms, it goes therefore restated, species in cases as that under investigation, than the ratio of the norm of which to art. the 38 it resides in the requirement to verify the reliability altogether considered of the economic operator who will go to contract with the p.a in order to avoid, to protection of the good course of the administrative action, than this last one it enters in contact with subjects lacking in moral and professional reliability (cfr. eg. Regional Administrative Court Liguria 962 and 9201 \ 2010).

The single ones lex specialis dictate rules of specification of such burden that, if on one side they assume the tie value for the same contracting out station and the aspirants participants, the other must submit to the ordinary criteria of the editing clarity and the reasonableness of application.

In purpose, it also goes remembered the prevailing jurisprudential opinion (cfr. eg. Council of State Sez. YOU 4.8.2009, n. 4906, 22.2.2010, n. 1017) last in via consolidation, than move in the same evidenced optical over, to tenor of which codicil 1 of art. the 38 cit. it reconnects the exclusion from the contest to the substantial data of the lacked possession indicated requirement, while codicil 2 does not preview analogous endorsement for the hypothesis of the lacked or not perspicuous declaration: from this it comes down that only the insussistenza, in practice, of the previewed causes of exclusion from art. the 38 involves, “ope legis”, the espulsivo effect. When, on the contrary, the participant is in possession of all demanded requirement and “lex specialis” she express does not preview the pain of the exclusion in relation to the lacked punctual observance the prescription on how and on the object of the declarations to supply, making generic callback to the absence of the obstructive causes of which to the norm under investigation, omission or the incompleteness in order to such elements she does not produce some prejudice to the interests garrisoned from the norm, resorting a hypothesis of mere formalism as such insuscettibile, in deficiency of an expressed legislative forecast or - she repeats herself - of the law of contest, to found the exclusion, whose hypotheses are compulsory (cfr. Council It are, sez. V, 9 November 2010, n. 7967). In sense in compliance with the shown solution it places also art. the 45 of the directive 2004/18/CE that reconnects to the exclusion to the sun hypothesis of serious guilt of false declarations in supplying information, not rinvenibile if the competitor does not achieve some advantage in competitive terms, being in possession of all previewed requirement (cfr. Cons. St. n. 1017/2010 cit.).

6.2 In such optical if of species it is necessary to evidence laconicism of the ban which reserves the participation to the enterprises in possession of requirement of which to art. the 38, demonstrating not to be incurred in one of the foretold causes of exclusion.

If of species they go therefore deemed groundless the regarding defects and disputes not as well as the subsistence of requirement how much the formal absence of declaration by some of the interested subjects. This also in order to the specific figure of the special prosecuting attorneys of the societies which, also provided with representation powers, do not re-enter of the number of the subjects held to the substitutive declarations finalized to the verification of the possession of requirement of morals of the same society (cfr. eg. Council It are, sez. V, 25 January 2011, n. 513).

6.3 various conclusions it is reached for that it concerns instead the substantial relief, concerning the subsistence of the which requisitioned foretold ones, in species whereby contests the declaration in order to the subsistence of a cause of exclusion in head to an administrator stopped from the charge in the course of the three years, regarding which however, second the defense of recurrent part, would be taken part suitable measures of dissosciation, consisting in the approval in date 11 \ the 1 \ 2010 (that is day before the attached same declaration to the participation question) of an ethical code.

The recurrent defensive thesis of the main one does not convince. In truth, against a normative data clearly in demanding that the enterprise “demonstrates to have adopted actions or measures of complete dissosciation of the conduct penal endorsed”, the mere callback to the approval of an ethical code (disowned to the station contracting out moreover) the day before the presentation of the same question excludes the possibility to attribute to such element the character of dissosciation from a conduct, penal endorsed, of which not from not even action or callback in the same declaration. In truth, to the aim to demonstrate the activation of “complete” a dissosciation it is necessary to supply some elements, beginning from the endorsed conduct, such to evidence how much place in being in opposite direction and the relative effectiveness; if of species, instead, the declaring subject has omitted to recall specifically the precedence, admitting it also important, so not placing in condition the administration only for estimating the point, recalling as dissosciation a so recent element (of the day precedence), as well as completely generically which invoked, to exclude that in the species it can be already taken part the dissosciation sets up ex lege.

In general terms, relatively to art. the 38 codicil 1 lett c) under investigation, the judgment of moral non qualification of the entrepreneurs legal people rests on the conviction that is the presumption that the penal reprehensible conduct of those natural people who carry out or have carried out recently an important role inside of the enterprise, has polluted the corporate structure: such presumption is absolute if the subject anchor inside carries out a role of the enterprise organization, while it is relative, so allowing with the enterprise to supply the contrary test, if this is stopped from the charge and it is not still passed that amount of time, than reasonably allows to consider failing of the brought negative infuence from the same subject. Orbene, if of species the deficiency of declared elements excludes that the enterprise has supplied the necessary contrary test.

Consequently, under such profile (reason n. 2) the incident resource appears founded.

Always 6.4 in order to the demanded declarations and yields according to the norm under investigation, under the substantial profile of the possession of the which requisitioned demanded ones, while the deducted ones lacked declarations special prosecuting attorneys are insignificant to the pairs of the lacked moreover which signed subscription an attached one () to the widest declaration returned from the interested one with indication of the crime and of the consequent irrelevancy, parimenti founded appear the deducted reason in order to the declaration of Pastorino Giselda: in fact, against the expressed declaration returned from such subject in quality of managing director of the homonymous enterprise in order to the subsistence of sentence, rather recent oltretutto, for crimes of environmental relief, it appears obvious as the administration would have had to carry out the necessary deepenings in order to the gravity and the incidence on the professional morals. In truth, to this last care, the age and above all the nature and the declared pluralità of violations in a matter evidently involved from the harbour activity (operating themselves in entrepreneurial terms in marine within and therefore in specific atmosphere subject to and punctual protection under the profiles in question), would have tax a specific consideration and appraisal in order to the subsistence of reasons such to exclude 38 former importance art. codicil 1 lett c), turning out prima facie insufficient mere the generic contained affirmations in the autodichiarazione, lacking in any consideration or also only support element.

6.5 various conclusions relatively it must be reached: to the censorship concerning the deficiency of declaration on the control situation, as relative to various subjects from the participants; to the concerning censorship the compatibility with the harbour plan, in species to light of the condivisibili appraisals carried out from the authority and the commission during contest; to the relative censorship to the presumed deficiencies of the offer (listed in the minutes n. 9 from p 13) which has correctly involved the attribution of an inferior score.

6.6 At last, it appears founded the remaining incident, deducted censorship in terms of deficiency of requirement of the turnover, demanded from the ban to exclusion pain.

In purpose, against the ban that it demanded, which requisitioned of economic ability financial institution and technique (4,2 point I.a), “a turnover in terminalistica activity former articles. 16 and 18 l. 84 cit. and \ or logistic/intermodal/marine transport, altogether realized in last the two exercises not inferior to euro 50.000.000, 00, whose terminalistica member will not be able, to pain of exclusion, inferior being to euro 15.000.000, 00”, only Grendi pacifically carries out terminalistica activity (but with insufficient amount: 12.328.182, 53), while remaining two (declaring Derna 8.361.207, 29, and Pastorino, declaring 1.136.320, 00) carry out activities inherent to the port but not terminalistiche. To confirmation of this the same commission (cfr. minutes n. 5 to p 7) give for acquired that only Grendi is terminalista operator takes part of ATI.

The censorship appears to light founded of the clear pronunciation of the ban, dictated express and in boldface to exclusion pain, species whereby distinguishes between the harbour activities in general terms, characterized clearly with the callback to the articles. 16 and 18 l. 84 cit. for which it demands a not inferior turnover to 50 million, and that closely terminalistica, carried out only from an enterprise and for demanded an inferior amount to 15 million. To ulterior support of the censorship, regarding how much already evidenced from the same recalled Commission and over, the nature of the carried out activity emerges from Derna in terms of center shunting goods and therefore, also important to the aims of the limit of 50 million, not qualificabile in terms of terminalistica activity in strict sense so as clearly specified from the ban

7. To light of the considerations that precede, the fondatezza of the incident resource under the recalled profiles, involves the inammissibilità of the resources proposed from Derna and adverse Grendi the definitive award.

Sussistono just reasons, against the complexity of the issues faced, in order to arrange the compensation of the expenses between the parts.
