Re:

Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations – Articles 10 EC and 39 EC – Conditions for the use by workers residing in Finland and employed abroad of vehicles registered abroad and made available to them by the employer

Operative part:

The Court:

1.

Declares that, by preventing cross-frontier workers residing in Finland and employed in another Member State from benefiting from the use of company vehicles which are made available by their employers established in another Member State and registered in the latter State on the sole ground that the cross-frontier workers concerned reside on Finnish territory, into which the vehicles belonging to their employers have been imported,

and

by preventing the cross-frontier workers concerned from benefiting, for professional and private purposes, from the use of company vehicles which are made available by their employers established in another Member State and registered in the latter State, while those vehicles are neither intended to be used mainly in Finland on a permanent basis nor, in fact, used in that way, on the sole ground that those workers reside on Finnish territory, into which the vehicles belonging to their employers have been imported,

the Republic of Finland has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 39 EC;

2.

Dismisses the remainder of the application;

3.

Orders each party to bear its own costs;

4.
