The commission of an offence, however, is not the sole circumstance that can lead to a withdrawal, suspension or restriction of the right to drive, of a driving licence or of the recognition of the validity of a driving licence. Other circumstances, such as not fulfilling the minimum standards laid down in Annex III to Directive (EU) 2025/2205 of the European Parliament and of the Council, can also lead to such a withdrawal, suspension or restriction. As Directive (EU) 2025/2205 regulates such minimum standards, the definitions relating to those terms should clarify that they cover all cases resulting in such a withdrawal, suspension or restriction, and not only those resulting from the commission of an offence.
