(6) Concessions are contracts for pecuniary interest concluded between one or more economic operators and one or more contracting authorities or entities and having as their object the acquisition of works or services where the consideration consists, normally, in the right to exploit the works or services that are the subject of the contract. The execution of these works or services are subject to specific binding obligations defined by the contracting authority or entity which are legally enforceable. By contrast, certain State acts such as authorisations or licences whereby the State or a public authority establishes the conditions for the exercise of an economic activity, should not qualify as concessions. The same applies to certain agreements having as their object the right of an economic operatorwhereby the State or contracting authority or entity grants an economic operator, for remuneration, the right to exploit certain public domains or resources, (such as tenancy or land lease contracts whereby the State or contracting authority or entity establishes only general conditions for their use without acquiring specific works or servicesfor individual plots at maritime and inland ports) and in which, as a rule, only general conditions for their use are established without the contracting authority becoming the recipient of specific services performed by the contract partner. The general conditions contained in both tenancy and land lease contracts are rules concerning the transfer of the rented property or land to the tenant, the use thereof (e.g. a description of the rented property or land, provisions on permissible uses of the rented property or land), the respective obligations of the landlord and the tenant with regard to the maintenance of the rented property or land, the duration of the lease and repossession by the landlord of the rented property or land, the rent and other costs borne by the tenant.
