The decision of the CJEU in this case leads to a favorable situation for the processing companies (“toll manufacturers”), given that it brings clarity to the concepts detailed above and especially due to the fact that, for the first time, it is a specific case on this model of business. We assume that this will provide clarity for many cases in practical implementation, partly because this judgment builds on the line that was initiated in Berlin Chemie (C-333/20). Companies operating both in Romania and in other European Union states should analyze their factual situation against these conclusions and identify whether or not they have a fixed headquarters in those member states.
