Reference for a preliminary ruling from the Bundesfinanzhof — Interpretation of the second subparagraph of Article 4(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) — Taxation of public bodies in respect of activities or transactions in which they engage as public authorities where their non-taxation would lead to significant distortions of competition — Possibility for a taxable private-law association to rely on that provision where it is operating a crematorium in competition with a municipality carrying on a similar activity that is exempt or taxed more advantageously
