Language of the case: French
Applicant: Société de Logement de Service Public (SLSP) ‘Sambre et Biesme’, SCRL
Defendant: Société wallonne du logement
1.Must Article 12(3) of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014, (1) as amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2170 of 24 November 2015 (2) on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC be interpreted as having direct effect?
2.If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, must Article 12(3) of Directive 2014/24/EU be interpreted as meaning that the requirement for a contracting authority, in this case a public service housing company, to be represented on the decision-making bodies of the controlled legal person, in this case an inter-municipal cooperative society, is satisfied solely on the basis that a person who sits on the board of directors of that inter-municipal cooperative society in his or her capacity as a municipal councillor of another participating contracting authority, in this case a municipality, is, due to purely factual circumstances and without any legal guarantee of representation, also a director of the public service housing company, while the municipality is a (non-exclusive) shareholder in both the controlled entity (inter-municipal cooperative society) and the public service housing company?
3.If the answer to the first question is negative, must it be considered that a contracting authority, in this case a public service housing company, ‘participates’ in the decision-making bodies of the controlled legal person, in this case an inter-municipal cooperative society, solely on the basis that a person who sits on the board of directors of that inter-municipal cooperative society in his or her capacity as a municipal councillor of another participating contracting authority, in this case a municipality, is, due to purely factual circumstances and without any legal guarantee of representation, also a director of the public service housing company, while the municipality is a (non-exclusive) shareholder in both the controlled entity (inter-municipal cooperative society) and the public service housing company?
