Operative part of the judgment
Article 15 of Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market
must be interpreted as precluding national legislation under which the award of the contract for the provision of road safety awareness and training courses for the purposes of the recovery of driving licence points must be made by means of a public service concession, in so far as that legislation goes beyond what is necessary to attain the general interest objective pursued, namely the improvement of road safety.
