I henhold til præmis 44 i BFI Holdingdommen kan der næppe forekomme aktiviteter, der under ingen omstændigheder kan udøves af private virksomheder, hvorfor manglen på konkurrenter vil tømme begrebet offentligretligt organ i direktiverne for dets indhold.
According to paragraph 44 of the judgment in BFI Holding, it is hard to imagine any activities that could not be carried on by private undertakings, and therefore the absence of competition would render meaningless the term ‘body governed by public law’ used in the directives.
