26In the context of an agreement such as that at issue in the case which gave rise to the judgment in Auto Lease Holland (C‑185/01, EU:C:2003:73), the lessee of the leased vehicle himself purchases the fuel from filling stations and has a free choice as to its quality and quantity, as well as when to purchase. The Court held that the fuel management agreement between the lessor of the leased vehicle and the lessee of that vehicle is not a contract for the supply of fuel, but rather a contract to finance its purchase (judgment in Auto Lease Holland, C‑185/01, EU:C:2003:73, paragraph 36).
