Abstract

L'articolo si propone di verificare le complesse relazioni tra l'istituto consortile, previsto dal Codice civile, e la concorrenza, nell'ambito dei servizi ambientali in Italia. Nel nostro paese, infatti, anche sulla spinta della legislazione di settore, si è assistito a un ampio ricorso a Consorzi per la gestione di rifiuti, costituiti tra imprese che hanno fatto così fronte in maniera collettiva alle proprie responsabilità ambientali. Tali sistemi consortili hanno raggiunto importanti risultati operativi, ma, al contempo, condizionato numerosi mercati sotto il profilo concorrenziale: a questo proposito, gli autori prendono in esame i casi di COBAT e CONAI, rispettivamente deputati alla gestione di rifiuti piombosi e da imballaggi, di recente oggetto di specifiche attenzioni da parte dell'Autorità garante della concorrenza. Sullo sfondo delle questioni antitrust appena richiamate, l'articolo tenta infine alcune più generali considerazioni rispetto ai possibili rapporti tra attività economica e tutela ambientale.
