Court of Justice 2 April 1974, 178, 179 and 180-73 (Belgian State and Grand Duchy of Luxembourg v Mertens and others.)

OPINION OF MR ADVOCATE-GENERAL REISCHL DELIVERED ON 2 APRIL 1974 ( 1 ) Mr President, Members of the Court, I can be quite short in describing the facts underlying the three criminal cases referred by the Court of Appeal of Brussels, which really only involved one crucial legal point and which were therefore rightly joined.
