41As regards the notion of ‘capital movements’, there is no definition thereof in the Treaty. It is, however, settled case-law that, inasmuch as Article 56 EC essentially reproduces the contents of Article 1 of Directive 88/361, and even though that directive was adopted on the basis of Articles 69 and 70(1) of the EEC Treaty, (Articles 67 to 73 of the EEC Treaty have been replaced by Articles 73b to 73g of the EC Treaty, now Articles 56 EC to 60 EC), the nomenclature in respect of ‘movements of capital’ annexed to that directive still has the same indicative value, for the purposes of defining the notion of capital movements (see to that effect, inter alia, Case C-222/97 Trümmer and Mayer [1999] ECR I-1661, paragraph 21; Joined Cases C-515/99, C-519/99 to C-524/99 and C-526/99 to C-540/99 Reisch and Others [2002] ECR I-2157, paragraph 30; and Case C-513/03 Van Hilten-van der Heijden [2006] ECR I-1957, paragraph 39).
