49It is true that the Court has held that Directive 2004/80 provides for compensation only where a violent intentional crime has been committed in a Member State in which the victim finds himself in exercising his right to free movement, so that a purely internal situation does not fall within the scope of that directive (see, to that effect, judgments of 28 June 2007, Dell’Orto, C‑467/05, EU:C:2007:395, paragraph 59, and 12 July 2012, Giovanardi and Others, C‑79/11, EU:C:2012:448, paragraph 37, and order of 30 January 2014, C., C‑122/13, EU:C:2014:59, paragraph 12). The fact remains that, in so doing, the Court merely stated that the system of cooperation established by Directive 2004/80 solely concerns access to compensation in cross-border situations, without however excluding that Article 12(2) of that directive requires each Member State, for the purposes of securing the objective pursued by it in such situations, to adopt a national scheme guaranteeing compensation for victims of any violent intentional crime on its territory.
