GIOVANNI DI COSIMO
Abstract
Italian Regional laws on State-owned maritime concessions protect the interests of current concessionaires. However, the Constitutional Court considers, on the first hand, that the national legislator has the competence on competition matter and, on the second hand, that the protection of this constitutional interest prevails over regional matters. The essay reviews this case-law and highlights its limits.
