Operative part:
The Court:
1.
Declares that, by preventing cross-frontier workers residing in Finland and employed in another Member State from benefiting
from the use of company vehicles which are made available by their employers established in another Member State and registered
in the latter State on the sole ground that the cross-frontier workers concerned reside on Finnish territory, into which the
vehicles belonging to their employers have been imported,
and
by preventing the cross-frontier workers concerned from benefiting, for professional and private purposes, from the use of
company vehicles which are made available by their employers established in another Member State and registered in the latter
State, while those vehicles are neither intended to be used mainly in Finland on a permanent basis nor, in fact, used in that
way, on the sole ground that those workers reside on Finnish territory, into which the vehicles belonging to their employers
have been imported,
the Republic of Finland has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 39 EC;
2.
Dismisses the remainder of the application;
3.
Orders each party to bear its own costs;
4.
Orders the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to bear its own costs.
