Abstract
The legislation of the EU imposes on public authorities a duty to publish in the Official Journal of the EU at least one year before the launch of the invitation to tender procedure or one year before the direct award specific information regarding public service contracts for passenger transport which they intend to award. Even though this notification duty has been part of the legal framework for more than ten years, numerous ambiguities and doubts have been identified in the both the application and the academic spheres.
The goal of this article is to analyze the said notification duty, point out legal risks related to it and offer answers to some of the ambiguities and doubts, also with the use of available case law.
