      Article 12 of Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC must be interpreted as precluding the host Member State, where it lays down conditions and limits for the application of the exemption from excise duty on goods used in the context of diplomatic and consular relations, from making the application of that exemption subject to the condition that the purchase price of those goods be paid by means of payment other than cash.
