      Re:
   
   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Curtea de Apel Craiova — Registration of second-hand cars previously registered in other Member States — Environmental tax levied on motor vehicles at the time of their first registration in a given Member State — Compatibility of the national legislation with Art. 110 TFEU — Temporary exemption for vehicles having certain characteristics
   
      Operative part of the order
   
   Article 110 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding a Member State from introducing a pollution tax levied on motor vehicles at the time of their first registration in that Member State, where that tax measure is designed to discourage putting second-hand vehicles purchased in other Member States into circulation in that Member State, without discouraging the purchase of second-hand vehicles of comparable age and use on the domestic market.
