24According to settled case-law, provisions of EU 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 an EU legislative text, the provision in question must be interpreted by reference to the purpose and general scheme of the rules of which it forms part (see, to that effect, judgments of 15 November 2012 in Kurcums Metal, C‑558/11, EU:C:2012:721, paragraph 48, and 9 April 2014 in GSV, C‑74/13, EU:C:2014:2058, paragraph 27).
