      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               How is the expression ‘destruction of property’ for the purposes of Article 185(2) of Directive 2006/112 (1) to be interpreted, and are the motives for the destruction and/or the conditions under which it takes place relevant for the purposes of the adjustment to the deduction made upon acquisition of the property?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Is the demolition of capital assets, duly proved, with the sole aim of creating new, more modern capital assets with the same purpose to be regarded as a modification of the factors used to determine the amount to be deducted within the meaning of Article 185(1) of Directive 2006/112?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Is Article 185(2) of Directive 2006/112 to be interpreted as permitting the Member States to make adjustments in the case of the destruction of property where its acquisition remained totally or partially unpaid?
            
         
               4.
            
            
               Is Article 185(1) and (2) of Directive 2006/112 to be interpreted as precluding a national provision like Article 79(3) of the Law on VAT and Article 80(2)(1) of the Law on VAT, which provides for an adjustment of the deduction made in cases of destruction of property upon the acquisition of which a total payment of the basic amount and the tax calculated was made, and which makes the non-adjustment of a deduction dependent on a condition other than payment?
            
         
               5.
            
            
               Is Article 185(2) of Directive 2006/112 to be interpreted as ruling out the possibility of an adjustment to the deduction in the case of the demolition of existing buildings with the sole aim of creating new, more modern buildings in their place which fulfil the same purpose as the demolished buildings and [are used for transactions] which [give] entitlement to [deduction of input] VAT?
