27It should be noted at the outset that, as the Advocate General observes in point 41 of his Opinion, it may be deduced from the observations submitted to the Court that Directive 2014/67, the period for the transposition of which expired on 18 June 2016 in accordance with Article 23 of the directive, was transposed into Austrian law by legislation enacted in June 2016 which entered into force on 1 January 2017. Since the facts at issue in the main proceedings took place in March 2016, Directive 2014/67 is not applicable to them, and the questions referred need not be answered in so far as they refer to that directive (see, by analogy, judgment of 3 December 2014, De Clercq and Others, C‑315/13, EU:C:2014:2408, paragraphs 49 to 51).
