66The obligation to interpret national law in conformity with EU law ceases, moreover, when the former cannot be applied in a way that would lead to a result compatible with that envisaged by that framework decision. In other words, that principle cannot serve as the basis for an interpretation of national law contra legem. That principle does, however, require that the national court consider, where necessary, the whole body of national law in order to assess how far it can be applied in such a way as not to produce a result contrary to that envisaged by the framework decision (see judgments of 16 June 2005, Pupino, C‑105/03, EU:C:2005:386, paragraph 47, and of 5 September 2012, Lopes Da Silva Jorge, C‑42/11, EU:C:2012:517, paragraphs 55 and 56).
