56It follows that, contrary to what is claimed by the Commission, a purely literal interpretation of the special scheme for travel agents based on the text of one or more language versions, to the exclusion of the others, cannot prevail. In accordance with established case-law, it must be held that the provisions of European Union law must be uniformly interpreted and applied in the light of the versions in all the languages of the European Union. Where there is divergence between the various language versions of a European Union text, the provision in question must be interpreted by reference to the general scheme and purpose of the rules of which it forms part (Case C-280/04 Jyske Finans [2005] ECR I-10683, paragraph 31).
