34However, according to settled case-law, the need for uniform application of Community law and the principle of equality require that the terms of a provision of Community law which makes no express reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining its meaning and scope must normally be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the Community; that interpretation must take into account the context of the provision and the purpose of the legislation in question (see, in particular, Case 327/82 Ekro [1984] ECR 107, paragraph 11, Case C-287/98 Unster [2000] ECR I-6917, paragraph 43, Case C-357/98 Yiadom [200O] ECR I-9265, paragraph 26, and Case C-373/00 Adolf Truley [2003] ECR I-1931, paragraph 35).
