Summary/Abstract: Municipality is a public-private compound equipped with personality, which should meet the needs of a community through the realization of public tasks. The execution of these tasks is in the forms strictly defined by law. Some of them for their realization require a business referred to as economic. The principle of a social market economy does not preclude that they are implemented by the municipality. The municipality achieve the same status of an entrepreneur, but it remains nonetheless a specific entrepreneur whose situation clearly differs from that of “classical” entrepreneur, which is today a natural person.
