Defendant: Staatssecretaris van Financiën
Must Articles 49 and 56 EC be interpreted to mean that, where foreign savings balances or income therefrom are not disclosed to the tax authority of a Member State, those articles do not prevent that Member State from applying legislation which, to compensate for the lack of effective means of monitoring foreign balances, provides for a recovery period of twelve years, whereas a recovery period of five years applies in the case of savings balances or income therefrom held in the Member State where such effective means do in fact exist?
