28Also, the retail vouchers at issue give effect to the right of the employees who benefit from them to obtain goods or services from one of the referenced retailers (see, by analogy, judgment of 27 March 1990, Boots Company, C‑126/88, EU:C:1990:136, paragraph 12). Thus, in accordance with the scheme put in place by GEAES by means of the ‘Above & Beyond’ programme, the obtaining of such a retail voucher, by an employee nominated under that programme, by its nature is no more than a document evidencing the obligation assumed by the referenced retailers to accept that retail voucher, instead of money, at its face value (see, by analogy, judgment of 24 October 1996, Argos Distributors, C‑288/94, EU:C:1996:398, paragraph 19 and the case-law cited).
