The case focuses on what latitude the EU Member States might have when stipulating legal grounds for exclusion in public procurement. In the present case the connection between the infringement of competition rules and the settlement of the grave professional misconduct become explicit. In Case C- 470/2013, the Fővárosi Közigazgatási és Munkaügyi Bíróság (Administrative and Labour Court, Budapest) made a reference to a preliminary ruling concerning the dismissal of the Generali-Providencia Zrt.’s (hereinafter Generali) action brought before the board of appeal against the decision to exclude Generali from a tendering procedure on the ground that it had previously committed an infringement of the national competition rules.
