Italy's antitrust authority on
Monday called on Rome city council to revise the "criteria" by
which it assigned stalls in the traditional Epiphany celebration
in Rome's iconic Piazza Navona.
The authority said the criteria did not meet competition
rules.
Therefore, it voiced the hope that there would be a "revision
of the process of assigning the stalls".
The authority, in particular, called for "a change in the
duration of the licenses (nine years) and, for future editions,
the adoption of non-discriminatory criteria, not based on the
mere historic presence in the event".
Rome city council recently did a U-turn and assigned a number
of the stalls to a controversial family who have historically
run them, the Tredicine family.
