Judgment_paragraph 20 · Établissements Rimbaud SA v Directeur général des impôts and Directeur des services fiscaux d’Aix-en-Provence (C-72/09)

20One of the principal aims of the EEA Agreement is to provide for the fullest possible realisation of the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital within the whole EEA, so that the internal market established within the European Union is extended to the EFTA States. From that angle, several provisions of the EEA Agreement are intended to ensure as uniform an interpretation as possible thereof throughout the EEA (see Opinion 1/92 [1992] ECR I-2821). It is for the Court, in that context, to ensure that the rules of the EEA Agreement which are identical in substance to those of the TFEU are interpreted uniformly within the Member States (Ospelt and Schlössle Weissenberg, paragraph 29).
