   The Court:
   
               1.
            
            
               Declares that, by adopting and maintaining the tax reduction in respect of contributions paid to a savings pension in so far as that reduction is applicable only in respect of payments to institutions and funds established in Belgium, the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 56 TFEU.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Orders the Kingdom of Belgium to pay the costs.
