Re:

Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations — Breach of Article 6, in conjunction with Article 9, of Council Directive 93/36/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts (OJ 1993 L 199, p. 1) — Contract for the supply of a software application designed for motor vehicle registration concluded without contracting procedures between two bodies governed by public law responsible for data-processing on behalf of local authorities

Operative part of the judgment

The Court:

1.

Declares that, by reason of the fact that the Datenzentrale Baden-Württemberg (Central Data Office of Baden-Württemberg) awarded a contract for the supply of software designed for motor vehicle registration by a negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice, the Federal Republic of Germany has failed to fulfil its obligations under Council Directive 93/36/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts;

2.

orders the Federal Republic of Germany to pay the costs.
