Question referred

Is a legal provision compatible with Article 49 of the Treaty establishing the European Community (in the version of the Nice Treaty signed on 26 February 2001; now Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) if it makes a tax exemption for income of an employee who is taxable in Germany dependent on the employer being established in Germany, but does not provide for such exemption if the employer is established in another EU Member State?
