28That point having been clarified, it should be noted that, according to settled case-law, it follows from the need for uniform application of EU law and from the principle of equality that the terms of a provision of EU law which makes no express reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining its meaning and scope must normally be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union (see, to that effect, judgments of 17 July 2008, Kozłowski, C‑66/08, EU:C:2008:437, paragraph 42, and of 24 May 2016, Dworzecki, C‑108/16 PPU, EU:C:2016:346, paragraph 28).
