   Re:
   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Oberlandesgericht Köln —
   Operative part of the judgment
   Article 1(d) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1432/92 of 1 June 1992 prohibiting trade between the European Economic Community and the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro must be interpreted as meaning that the commercial carriage of persons to or from Serbia and Montenegro in the form of split transport was prohibited.
   ‘Split transport’ is to be understood as meaning the carriage of persons to or from the territory covered by the embargo, organised by means of a joint operation between an undertaking established in a Member State of the Community and an undertaking established in the territory covered by the embargo whereby the former provides carriage to or from the area bordering the territory covered by the embargo and the latter provides carriage from that point into the territory covered by the embargo or from inside that territory to that point (with passengers changing vehicles).
