National legislation which makes the sale by public auction of second-hand goods coming from another Member State conditional on the prior registration of the undertaking to which the goods offered for sale belong in the regi ster of trade for the pi ace of the sale is incompatible with Articles 30 and 36 of the EEC Treaty".
