The individual provisions of Public Authorities which, according to Italian law, determine the automatic extension of existing concessions for state-owned maritime property used for tourism and recreational purposes, must be considered administrative measures with constitutive effects, and not merely acts with a purely “declaratory” value of will expressed by law. These provisions – based as they are on a national regulation incompatible with EU law – should be considered unlawful and should be submitted to administrative or judicial review, according to national rules. Therefore, Public Authorities have the power to annul such provisions (within the peremptory term of twelve months pursuant to art. 21 nonies of the Italian “Administrative Procedure Act”, law n. 241/1990, which applies in these cases), thus guaranteeing the uniform application of EU law in the absence of legitimate expectations of the concessionaires themselves.
Gli atti idonei a determinare gli effetti conseguenti alla proroga ex lege delle concessioni balneari devono qualificarsi come provvedimenti amministrativi e non già come atti meramente “dichiarativi” della volontà espressa dalla legge. Tali provvedimenti ‒ in quanto adottati sulla base di una norma nazionale contraria al diritto Ue ‒ sono affetti da anticomunitarietà indiretta e sono, pertanto, annullabili secondo le regole dell’ordinamento nazionale. L’Amministrazione è titolare del potere/dovere di annullare d’ufficio ‒ entro il termine perentorio di dodici mesi ex art. 21 nonies l. n. 241/1990, applicabile anche nel caso di specie ‒ i provvedimenti di proroga adottati in forza della l. n. 145/2018, garantendo così, in assenza di un affidamento meritevole di tutela in capo ai concessionari, l’uniforme applicazione del diritto Ue.

Abstract
The individual provisions of Public Authorities which, according to Italian law, determine the automatic extension of existing concessions for state-owned maritime property used for tourism and recreational purposes, must be considered administrative measures with constitutive effects, and not merely acts with a purely “declaratory” value of will expressed by law. These provisions – based as they are on a national regulation incompatible with EU law – should be considered unlawful and should be submitted to administrative or judicial review, according to national rules. Therefore, Public Authorities have the power to annul such provisions (within the peremptory term of twelve months pursuant to art. 21 nonies of the Italian “Administrative Procedure Act”, law n. 241/1990, which applies in these cases), thus guaranteeing the uniform application of EU law in the absence of legitimate expectations of the concessionaires themselves.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
