19The doubts of that court as to the interpretation of Article 29 EC are increased by the considerations expressed by the Court in Case C-193/94 Skanavi and Chryssanthakopoulos [1996] ECR I-929. That case concerned the obligation, where a person changed his place of residence from one Member State to another Member State, to exchange within a certain period the driving licence issued in the former Member State. The Court was asked, more particularly, whether Article 52 of the EC Treaty (now Article 43 EC) precludes the driving of a motor vehicle by a person who could have obtained a licence from the host State in exchange for the licence issued by another Member State but who did not make the exchange within the prescribed period from being treated as driving without a licence and thus rendered punishable by imprisonment or a fine.
