20It must be stated that neither Directive 2002/58 nor the documents relevant for its interpretation, such as the travaux préparatoires, provide clarification as to the exact scope of the concept of ‘under the authority’. The meaning and scope of terms for which European Union law provides no definition must be determined by considering their usual meaning in everyday language, while also taking into account the context in which they occur and the purposes of the rules of which they are part (see, to that effect, judgments in Case C-336/03 easyCar [2005] ECR I-1947, paragraphs 20 and 21, and of 5 July 2012 in Case C‑49/11 Content Services, paragraph 32).
