40The Court finds that while Article 8a does not contain a definition of ‘commercial motor vehicle’, it does not follow that the definitions contained in other texts of secondary legislation are relevant. As the Advocate General stated in paragraph 44 of his Opinion, the two definitions invoked by the Hauptzollamt Duisburg are not coterminous and the texts in which they are found pursue objectives which are different from that of Directive 92/81. In those circumstances, it is not necessary to refer to those texts to determine the meaning of the term ‘commercial motor vehicle’, but rather it is appropriate to refer to the scheme and purpose of the provision in which it is found.
