Language of the case: German
In Case C-292/02: reference for a preliminary ruling under Article 234 EC from the Finanzgericht Düsseldorf (Germany), by decision of 6 August 2002, received on 13 August 2002, in the proceedings Meiland Azewijn BV v Hauptzollamt Duisburg — the Court (First Chamber), composed of: P. Jann, President of the Chamber, S. von Bahr (Rapporteur) and R. Silva de Lapuerta, Judges; F.G. Jacobs, Advocate General; M. Múgica Arzamendi, Principal Administrator, for the Registrar, gave a judgment on 9 September 2004, the operative part of which is as follows:
|
1. |
Article 8a(1) of Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils, as amended by Council Directive 94/74/EC of 22 December 1994, is to be interpreted as prohibiting Member States from subjecting to excise duty mineral oil, whether marked or unmarked, contained in the standard tank of a commercial motor vehicle, such as agricultural machinery, and used as fuel not only to move the vehicle but also in order to utilise it for other purposes, such as agricultural work, when that mineral oil has been lawfully released for consumption in another Member State. |
|
2. |
The prohibition in Article 8a(1) of Directive 92/81 as amended may be relied on by individuals in proceedings before national courts in order to contest national rules that are incompatible with that prohibition. |
