83While the property transactions carried out in other Member States might also have been subject to similar or even identical taxes to that at issue, it must be noted, however, that in the current stage of the development of EU law, the Member States enjoy a certain autonomy in the area of taxation provided they comply with EU law, and are not obliged therefore to adapt their own tax systems to the different systems of tax of the other Member States in order, inter alia, to eliminate the double taxation (see, by analogy, Case C-298/05 Columbus Container Services [2007] ECR I-10451, paragraph 51, and Case C-67/08 Block [2009] ECR I-883, paragraph 31).
