Questions referred

1.

Is Article 132(1)(d) of Directive 2006/112/EC (1) to be interpreted as meaning that the supply of human blood also encompasses the supply of blood plasma obtained from human blood?

2.

If Question 1 is answered in the affirmative: does this also apply to blood plasma that is not intended to be used directly for therapeutic purposes, but exclusively for manufacturing medicinal products?

3.

If Question 2 is answered in the negative: is classification as blood solely dependent on the intended purpose of the blood plasma, or also on the uses to which the blood plasma may theoretically be put?
