Judgment_paragraph 33 · Criminal proceedings against Leo Apelt (C-224/10)

33As the national court has observed, that confiscation may be regarded as constituting a suspension within the terms of Article 8(2) and (4) of Directive 91/439. Therefore, that directive does not preclude the German authorities from refusing to recognise, in their territory, the driving licence for vehicles in category B issued to Mr Apelt by the Czech authorities, given that both the confiscation by the German police authorities and the withdrawal by court order are justified on grounds which existed at the date of issue of that driving licence.
