   Question referred
   With regard to the interpretation of Article 54 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 between the Governments of the States of the Benelux Economic Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the gradual abolition of checks at their common borders (1), does the rule prohibiting a person whose trial has been finally disposed of in one contracting party from being prosecuted in another contracting party for the same act apply, where the penalty imposed on him could never be enforced under the laws of the sentencing contracting party?
