References for a preliminary ruling — Hoge Raad der Nederlanden (Den Haag) — Interpretation of Article 17(2) and (3) and Article 28b(A)(2) of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (OJ 1977 L 145, p. 1) — Transitional arrangements for the taxation of trade between Member States — Place of intra-Community acquisitions of goods
