   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Sąd Okręgowy w Koszalinie — Interpretation of Article 18 EC — Compatibility of a national provision under which payment of a benefit granted to victims of war and of its consequences is subject to a requirement of residence in national territory
   Operative part of the judgment
   Article 18(1) EC is to be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State under which it refuses, generally and in all circumstances, to pay to its nationals a benefit granted to civilian victims of war or repression solely because they are not resident in the territory of that State throughout the period of payment of the benefit, but in the territory of another Member State.
