The rules defined in Title II also apply to public contracts concluded by a controlled legal entity which is a contracting authority, including when it acts as a contracting entity, with:
1° Either the contracting authority which controls it, including when such control is exercised jointly with other contracting authorities under the conditions laid down in Article L. 2511-3 ;
2° Or another legal entity controlled by the same contracting authority, provided that the legal entity to which the public contract is awarded does not have a direct private equity holding, with the exception of those forms of private equity holding without the capacity to control or block required by law which do not allow decisive influence to be exercised over the controlled legal entity.
