On those grounds, the Court (Ninth Chamber) hereby rules:
1) Article 110 TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that it does not preclude a Member State from establishing a tax on motor vehicles, such as that provided by Law No. 9/2012, the January 6, 2012, concerning the tax on polluting emissions from motor vehicles (Legea nr. 9/2012 privind taxa pentru emisiile poluante provenite of autovehicule), which hits imported used vehicles on their first registration in that Member State and vehicles already registered in that Member State during the first transcript in the same State of the property right on them.
2) Article 110 TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that it precludes a Member State exempts from tax, such as that provided by Law No. 9/2012, the vehicles already registered for where a fee was paid previously in force, when the residual amount of that tax incorporated in the value of these vehicles is lower than the amount of the new tax. This is necessarily the case where the earlier tax should be reimbursed with interest because of its incompatibility with EU law.
