Action

Reference for a preliminary ruling — Amtsgericht Landau/Isar
— Interpretation of Article 8(2) and (4) of Council Directive
91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991 on driving licences (OJ 1991
L 237, p. 1) — Non-recognition by the Member State of resi-
dence, on its territory, of a driving licence obtained in another
Member State during the period of a temporary ban on applying
for a new licence in the Member State of residence

Operative part of the judgment

Articles 1(2) and 8(2) and (4) of Council Directive 91/439/EEC of
29 July 1991 on driving licences, as amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1882/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
29 September 2003, must be interpreted as meaning that they do not
preclude a Member State from refusing to recognise the validity of a
driving licence issued by another Member State where the holder of
that licence was, on the date the licence was issued, subject to a
temporary ban on obtaining a new right to drive in the first Member
State. In this respect, the fact that the question of validity arises after
the date that marked the end of the period of the ban is irrelevant.
