Administrative concession

Known as an administrative concession , it is the means created by modern States to establish relationships with different institutions in order to offer the people a series of activities or the exploitation of certain State resources to individuals, so that they are responsible for organizing, maintaining and develop.

It is usually a good alternative for these times of crisis when municipalities do not have the economic and technological conditions to exploit these spaces. In this relationship, the institutions or private companies undertake to carry out the work safely and repay the State for said loan.

According to specialists, it is one of the best alternatives to promote national wealth and direct economic resources to effective development plans.

Agreement

The concession implies an agreement with various conditions that must be respected.

Classification according to type

There are many types of concessions. They can be authorization (an agreement of a judicial nature through which a person assumes the power to exercise a certain function that has as its purpose an effect on the civil community), permission (an authorization that gives the authority to a competent party to do a certain thing) and license (an administrative authorization through which the State offers the possibility to a person to develop a certain activity, after verifying the invulnerability of its facilities and ensuring that said activity will not have harmful consequences for the community).

It is then necessary to point out that:

*A concession is the permission given to use a right to exploit services or goods for a certain time. The concession can be granted by one company to another or by the Government to a private firm.

In this sense, the concession can be the permission to market or manage products in a certain territory: "I have the concession to distribute NBA products in this city" , "I am trying to get a concession to sell foreign brand clothing" , "A man will be put on trial for marketing Disney creations without concessions."

* The concession is, on the other hand, the legal transaction through which the State transfers to a company or individual powers for the use of a property in the public domain or for the exploitation of a public service under certain clauses: «The Spanish company has obtained the concession for the city's roads and highways for the next twenty years" , "The president threatened to annul the concession if the company does not lower rates."

It is worth mentioning, finally, that to carry out any of them, a contract is required , which clearly specifies the right of the person to practice their profession or develop their activity in a certain place.
