         Reference for a preliminary ruling by the Korkein oikeus by order of that court of 6 October 2004 in the case of Jan-Erik Anders Ahokainen and Mati Leppik against Virallinen syttäjä
   (Case C-434/04)
   (2004/C 300/66)
   Reference has been made to the Court of Justice of the European Communities by order of the Korkein oikeus (Supreme Court) (Finland)) of 6 October 2004, which was received at the Court Registry on 11 October 2004, for a preliminary ruling in the case of Jan-Erik Anders Ahokainen and Mati Leppik against Virallinen syttäjä (Public Prosecutor).
   The Korkein oikeus asks the Court of Justice to give a preliminary ruling on the following questions:
   
               1.
            
            
               Is Article 28 EC to be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State under which non-denatured ethyl alcohol of over 80 % (spirits) may be imported only by a person who has obtained a licence to do so?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               If the above question is answered in the affirmative, is the licence system to be regarded as permitted under Article 30 EC?
