(Joined Cases C-136/10 and C-178/10) (1)
(First subparagraph of Article 104(3) of the Rules of Procedure - Internal taxation - Article 110 TFEU - Pollution tax levied upon first registration of motor vehicles)
2011/C 211/11
Language of the case: Romanian
Applicants: Daniel Ionel Obreja (C-136/10), Ministerul Economiei și Finanțelor, Direcția Generală a Finanțelor Publice a județului Mureș, Administrația Finanțelor Publice Târgu-Mureș (C-178/10)
Defendants: Ministerul Economiei și Finanțelor, Direcția Generală a Finanțelor Publice a județului Mureș (C-136/10), SC Darmi SRL (C-178/10)
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Curtea de Apel Târgu-Mureș — Registration of second-hand vehicles previously registered in other Member States — Environmental tax levied on motor vehicles upon first registration in a Member State — Whether national legislation is compatible with Articles 23, 25 and 90 EC — Possible derogation on the basis of Article 174 EC
Article 110 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding a Member State from introducing a pollution tax affecting motor vehicles on their first registration in that Member State, if that fiscal measure is so designed as to discourage the putting into service, in that Member State, of second-hand vehicles bought in other Member States, without, however, discouraging the purchase of second-hand vehicles of the same age and condition on the national market.
