Is the transport of empty containers to or from the loading or the unloading point an inseparable part of the transport of the loaded containers such that the transport of the empty containers benefits from the privileged treatment afforded to the transport of the full containers in so far as those empty containers are exempt from the cabotage rules in the context of combined transport?
