“Going into detail for a moment” Bellanova said again with respect to the letter of formal notice sent by the Commission, “I would like to pay close attention to a risk that the indication of the Commission could trigger. Predict the so-called subcontracting cascade would in fact mean splitting the activities between a myriad of economic operators without them having participated in the tender, thus irreversibly cracking the principle of the necessary qualification of economic operators and making the control of the contracting authorities extremely complex both with regard to the correct execution of the performance is in relation to any liability that in this way would be diluted among a plurality of subjects “.
