   Request for a preliminary ruling — Kúria — Interpretation of Article 15 of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (OJ 1977 L 145, p. 1) and Articles 131, 146 and 273 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (OJ 2006 L 347, p. 1) — Exemptions on exportation — Company producing and selling tinned food which sells goods intended to be sold by the purchaser in third countries — National legislation making the right to exemption from VAT with respect to the sale of goods for export outside the European Union subject to the condition that the period between the sale and the date when the goods leave the national territory does not exceed 90 days.
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   Articles 146(1) and 131 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as precluding national legislation under which, in the context of a supply for export, goods intended to be exported from the European Union must have left the territory of the European Union within a fixed period of three months or 90 days following the date of supply, where merely exceeding that time-limit results in the definitive loss for the taxable person of the right to exemption in relation to that supply.
