The Court of Justice has given a judgment in the cases Commission v Netherlands/UK/Finland/Denmark and Czech Republic.
The Commission has not established that the objectives of Article 11 of the VAT Directive militate in favour of an interpretation according to which non-taxable persons cannot be included in a tax group. The Commission's action must be dismissed.
