      Re:
   
   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Unabhängiger Verwaltungssenat des Landes Vorarlberg — Interpretation of Article 6(4) of Council Directive 88/361/EEC of 24 June 1988 for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty (OJ 1988 L 178, p. 5) — Purchase of a secondary residence, situated in a Member State of the European Union, by nationals of a non-Member State, party to the European Economic Area Agreement (Liechtenstein) — National rules of that Member State making such purchases subject to an authorisation procedure
   
      Operative part of the order
   
   Article 40 of the European Economic Area Agreement of 2 May 1992 must be interpreted as precluding national legislation such as that at issue in the main proceedings which, on the basis of Article 6(4) of Council Directive 88/361/EEC of 24 June 1988 for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty (article repealed by the Treaty of Amsterdam), prohibits a national of the Principality of Liechtenstein from purchasing a secondary residence situated in a Member State of the European Union, and therefore national authorities are required not to apply that national legislation.
