Judgment_paragraph 34 · Ruxandra Paula Andriciuc and Others v Banca Românească SA (C-186/16)

34In that connection, the Court has ruled that Article 4(2) of Directive 93/13 lays down an exception to the mechanism for reviewing the substance of unfair terms, such as that provided for in the system of consumer protection put in place by that directive, that provision must be strictly interpreted (see, to that effect, judgments of 30 April 2014, Kásler and Káslerné Rábai, C‑26/13, EU:C:2014:282, paragraph 42, and of 23 April 2015, Van Hove, C‑96/14, EU:C:2015:262, paragraph 31). Furthermore, the expressions ‘main subject matter of the contract’ and ‘the adequacy of the price and remuneration on the one hand, as against the services or goods supplied in exchange, on the other’, in Article 4(2) of Directive 93/13, must normally be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union, which must take into account the context of that provision and the purpose of the legislation in question (judgment of 26 February 2015, Matei, C‑143/13, EU:C:2015:127, paragraph 50).
