The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE COURT,
after hearing the Advocate General, J. Kokott,
makes the following
Order
1 By letter of 22 August 2012, the Registry of the Court sent to the referring tribunal a copy of the judgment delivered on 19 July 2012 in Case C-591/10 Littlewoods Retail and Others, requesting that tribunal to inform it whether, in the light of that judgment, it wished to maintain its reference for a preliminary ruling.
2 By letter of 19 September 2012, received at the Registry of the Court on 21 September 2012, the First-Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) informed the Court that it did not intend to maintain its reference for a preliminary ruling.
3 In those circumstances, it is appropriate to order that the present case be removed from the Register of the Court.
4 Since these proceedings are, for the parties to the main proceedings, a step in the action pending before the national tribunal, the decision on costs is a matter for that tribunal.
On those grounds, the President of the Court hereby orders:
Case C-606/11 is removed from the Register of the Court.
