Judgment_paragraph 37 · Dansk Jurist- og Økonomforbund, acting on behalf of Erik Toftgaard v Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet (C-546/11)

37It must be noted in that regard that it is settled case-law that provisions of European Union law must be interpreted and applied uniformly in the light of the versions existing in all the languages of the European Union. Where there is divergence between the various language versions of text of European Union law, the provision in question must be interpreted by reference to the purpose and general scheme of the rules of which it forms part (see, inter alia, Case C-280/04 Jyske Finans [2005] ECR I-10683, paragraph 31 and case‑law cited).
