) He considered that the questions referred to the Court by the Tribunal de grande instance, Nice, should be answered in the following terms:
‘(1)
A motor vehicle is to be regarded as designed for the transport of both passengers and goods for the purposes of subheading 87.02 A of the Common Customs Tariff in the version in force in 1983 only if, behind the driver's seat or bench, it has folding or removable seats or specially fitted spaces for such seats, side windows, a side or rear door or tail-gate and an interior finish similar to that of a vehicle designed solely for the transport of passengers.
(2)
The classification given to a product under the Common Customs Tariff by the authorities of the Member State where the product entered the Community is not binding on the authorities of another Member State who are called upon to classify that product under the Common Customs Tariff for the purposes of their national law.’
