Language of the case: German
Referring court
Verwaltungsgerichtshof
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: VBV — Vorsorgekasse AG
Defendant: Finanzmarktaufsichtsbehörde (FMA)
Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Verwaltungsgerichtshof — Interpretation of Article 63 et seq. TFEU — Free movement of capital — Severance funds investing mandatory contributions in respect of employed and self-employed persons aimed to finance severance sums — Legislation of a Member State restricting those investments to funds which have been authorised to be sold in that national territory
Operative part of the judgment
Article 63(1) TFEU must be interpreted as precluding national legislation which does not permit a severance fund, or the undertaking for collective investment created by that severance fund to manage its assets, to invest those assets in units of an investment fund established in another Member State unless that investment fund has been authorised to market its units within the national territory.
