Conclusions of the Public Prosecutor
"Ce que nous ne pouvons pas admettre, c'est la thèse de la ville de Cherbourg, accueillie par le conseil de préfecture: à savoir qu'en autorisant tout relèvement de tarifs, le concédant a dégagé sa responsabilité. Non. Ce n'est pas là un acte d'une volonté agissante, qui seul peut conduire à mettre sur pied une organisation meilleure du service."
CONTEXT: normally, in case of a deficit of a public service the conceding party must financially help the concessionaire. Here the public service is that of tramway. I FIND DIFFICULT TO TRANSLATE IN THE LAST SENTENCE: ACTE D'UNE VOLONTE AGISSANTE.
