ABSTRACT – This paper deals with the judgment of the EU Court of Justice in case C-348/22 (AGCM vs. Comune di Ginosa), relating to italian legislation providing for the automatic extension of concessions for the occupation of State-owned maritime property, in which it was stated, inter alia, that the Article 12(1) and (2) of Directive 2006/123 must be interpreted as meaning that the obligation for Member States to apply an impartial and transparent selection procedure to potential candidates and the prohibition on automatic renewal of an authorisation granted for a given activity are laid down unconditionally and sufficiently precisely to be regarded as having direct effect. On the basis of the Court’s case-law, the A. try to highlight especially the issues less innovative of this judgment.
