Are Articles 43 et seq. of the Treaty establishing the European Community to be interpreted as meaning that a requirement of the law of the Member State of establishment that an applicant for a driving school permit who is a national of a Member State and wishes to obtain a driving school permit in another Member State may not possess any other driving school permit constitutes an inadmissible restriction on the freedom of establishment guaranteed by Article 43 of the Treaty establishing the European Community?
