Defendant: Belgische Staat
Operative part of the order
Article 56 TFEU and Article 36 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992 must be interpreted as meaning that they preclude national legislation establishing a tax exemption scheme which, although applicable without distinction to remuneration relating to savings deposits held with domestic and foreign credit institutions, subjects the exemption of income from savings deposits held with credit institutions established in other Member States of the European Union or the European Economic Area to the satisfaction of conditions which must be similar to those set out in that national legislation, which are de facto specific to the national market.
