Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicants: José Manuel Blanco Pérez and Maria del Pilar Chao
Gómez

Defendants: Consejería de Salud y Servicios Sanitarios del Princi-
pado de Asturias and Celso Fernandez Gómez

Question referred

Does Article 43 [EC] preclude the legislation of the Autono-
mous Community of the Principality of Asturias concerning
authorisation for the establishment of pharmacies?

on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States
relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added
tax: uniform basis of assessment (1) can be interpreted as
meaning that the letting of an apartment (and possibly of
non-residential premises) on the one hand and the related
cleaning of the common parts on the other hand can be
regarded as independent, mutually-divisible taxable transac-
tions.

2. If, as the referring court suspects, the answer to the first
question is in the negative,
it further asks the Court of
Justice whether the provisions of Article 13 of that directive,
and in particular the introduction and part B(b) thereof:
(1) require; (2) preclude; or (3) leave to the determination of
the Member State the application of VAT to payment for
cleaning of the common parts of a rented apartment block.

Question referred

‘Does Community law preclude the application of a provision of
national law, such as Article 2909 of the [Italian] Civil Code,
laying down the principle of res judicata, where the application
of that provision would lead to a result incompatible with Com-
munity law, thereby thwarting its application, even in areas
