17In that regard, it should be recalled that the first sentence of Article 5(6) of the Sixth Directive treats certain transactions for which no real consideration is received by the taxable person as supplies of goods effected for consideration subject to VAT, in accordance with Article 2(1) of the Sixth Directive. Under well-established case-law, the purpose of that provision is to ensure equal treatment as between a taxable person who applies goods for his own private use or for that of his staff and a final consumer who acquires goods of the same type (see, inter alia, Case C-412/03 Hotel Scandic Gåsabäck [2005] ECR I-743, paragraph 23 and the case-law cited).
