Questions referred

1.

Are Articles 138 and 20 of Council Directive [2006/112/EC] on the common system of value added tax (1) to be interpreted as meaning that the transport out of the territory of the State of origin must begin within a certain period of time for the sale to be exempt from tax and for there to be an intra-Community acquisition?

2.

Similarly, are those Articles to be interpreted as meaning that the transport must end in the country of destination within a certain period of time for the sale to be exempt from tax and for there to be an intra-Community acquisition?

3.
