         Parties to the main proceedings
      
      
         Applicant: Marvin M.
      
         Defendant: Kreis Heinsberg
      
         Questions referred
      
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Is Article 2(1) of Directive 2006/126/EC (1) to be interpreted as meaning that a driving licence document, including, specifically, the driving authorisations documented therein, must be strictly recognised by the Member States also in the case where the issuing of that document is based on an exchange of driving licence documents pursuant to Article 11(1) of this directive?
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  If Question 1 is to be answered in the affirmative: May a Member State refuse to recognise the exchanged driving licence document pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 11(4) of Directive 2006/126 if the exchange by the issuing State was carried out at a time when the Member State from which the material entitlement to drive originates had already withdrawn that entitlement?
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  If Question 2 is to be answered in the negative and an obligation of recognition does exist: May a Member State refuse to recognise the exchanged driving licence document in any event if the Member State in the territory of which the question of recognition of the driving licence document arises can establish, on the basis of ‘indisputable information’, that the material entitlement to drive no longer existed at the time when the driving licence document was exchanged?
               
            
         (1)  Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on driving licences (Recast) (OJ 2006 L 403, p. 18).
