Operative part of the order
Article 1(2) of Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC must be interpreted as precluding national legislation which introduces a regional tax on the sale of petrol for motor vehicles, given that, since the proceeds of that tax are intended solely as a general contribution to the budget of the local authorities, it cannot be regarded as pursuing a ‘specific purpose’ within the meaning of that provision.
