39According to settled case‑law, 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 a divergence between the various language versions of a European Union text, the provision in question must thus be interpreted by reference to the general scheme and the purpose of the rules of which it forms part (see, inter alia, Case C-280/04 Jyske Finans [2005] ECR I-10683, paragraph 31 and the case‑law cited).
