Question referred

Must the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union handed down in Case C-82/12, and Article 3(2) of Council Directive 92/12/EEC, 1 be interpreted as precluding the provisions of Italian law currently in force as set out in Article 17 of Legislative Decree No 398 of 21 December 1990 and in Article 3(1) of Lazio Regional Law … No 19 of 2011, which appear to introduce a regional tax on transport petrol which is not for ‘specific purposes’ as required by the abovementioned Community directive?
