38With regard to the concept of ‘economic activity’, the Court has held that it must be understood as encompassing all activities of producers, traders and persons supplying services. An analysis of those definitions highlights the scope of that concept and its objective nature, in the sense that the activity is considered per se and without regard to its purpose or results. An activity is, as a general rule, categorised as ‘economic’ where it is permanent and is carried out in return for remuneration which is received by the person carrying out the activity (judgment of 20 March 2014, Gmina Wrocław, C‑72/13, not published, EU:C:2014:197, paragraph 16 and the case-law cited).
