The Court considered that Article 9a was introduced to ensure a uniform application of Article 28 of the VAT Directive and, by extension, of the common VAT system within the single market. Article 9a was also safeguarding legal certainty for operators concerned as a means to avoid non or double taxation that could arise as a result of dissenting interpretations between Member States. Finally, the Court held that the Council did not exceed its implementing powers as it only sought to ensure a uniform application of the VAT Directive across EU countries
