Questions referred

1.Is Article 6(4) of Directive 88/361/EEC (1) of 24 June 1988 for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty, according to which existing national legislation regulating purchases of secondary residences may be upheld, still applicable to the purchase of secondary residences situated in a Member State of the EU by a national of the Principality of Liechtenstein, which forms part of the EEA?

2.Does national legislation which, on the basis of Article 6(4) of Council Directive 88/361/EEC of 24 June 1988, prohibits a national of the Principality of Liechtenstein from purchasing a secondary residence situated in a Member State of the EU conflict with the provisions of the EEA Agreement concerning the free movement of capital, so that a national authority must disregard such national legislation?
