Re:
Request for a preliminary ruling — Hof van Beroep te Gent (Belgium) — Interpretation of Article 2(3), (4) and (5) of Fourth Council Directive 78/660/EEC of 25 July 1978 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty on the annual accounts of certain types of companies (OJ 1978 L 222, p. 11) — Principle of a true and fair view — Acquisition by a company of an important asset free of charge — Not possible for the company to enter the value of that acquisition in its accounts as a distorted impression would thereby be given of its assets, financial situation and results
Operative part of the order
Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Article 2 of Fourth Council Directive 78/660/EEC of 25 July 1978 based on Article [44(2)(g) EC] on the annual accounts of certain types of companies must be interpreted as meaning that, where a company acquires an important asset free of charge, it is under no obligation to enter that asset in the accounts at its true value.
