58With regard to the term ‘other indirect taxes’ within the meaning of Article 1(2) of Directive 2008/118, it should be noted that that provision, which seeks to take due account of the Member States’ different fiscal traditions in this regard and the frequent recourse to indirect taxation for the implementation of non-budgetary policies, allows Member States to introduce, in addition to minimum excise duty, other indirect taxes having a specific purpose (see, by analogy, judgment in Commission v France, C‑434/97, EU:C:2000:98, paragraphs 18 and 19).
