35With regard to Finnet, it cannot be ruled out that such economic activity took place given the circumstances surrounding the fuel supplies at issue in the main proceedings. That conclusion is not called into question by the fact, noted by the referring court, that the dilapidated state of the building in which Finnet’s corporate seat is located did not allow any economic activity to take place, since such a finding does not mean that that activity could not be conducted in places other than the seat. In particular, when the economic activity in question involves supplies of goods made in the context of several successive sales, the first purchaser and reseller of those goods can simply order the first seller to transport the goods at issue directly to the second purchaser (see orders in Forvards V, C‑563/11, EU:C:2013:125, paragraphs 34, and in Jagiełło, C‑33/13, EU:C:2014:184, paragraph 32), without that first purchaser and reseller necessarily having at his disposal the warehousing and transport facilities which are indispensable for supplying the goods at issue.
