    Reference for a preliminary ruling — Cour de cassation du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg — Interpretation of Article 15(4)(a) and 15(5) 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) — Exemption for hire operations of sea-going vessels — Exemption subject to the condition that such vessels be assigned to navigation on the high seas and provide transport of travellers or the pursuit of commercial, industrial or fishing activities, for reward

    Operative part of the judgment

    Article 15(5) 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, as amended by Council Directive 91/680/EEC of 16 December 1991, must be interpreted as meaning that the exemption from value added tax provided for by that provision does not apply to services consisting of making a vessel available, for reward, with a crew, to natural persons for purposes of leisure travel on the high seas.
