Judgment_paragraph 28 · UBS Europe SE and Alain Hondequin and Others v DV and Others (C-358/16)

28In the first place, with regard to the situations referred to by the phrase ‘cases covered by criminal law’ within the meaning of Article 54(1) and (3) of Directive 2004/39, read in conjunction with Article 41 of the Charter, it should be noted that it is clear from the wording of Article 41 of the Charter that it is addressed not to the Member States but solely to the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the European Union (judgments of 17 December 2015, WebMindLicenses, C‑419/14, EU:C:2015:832, paragraph 83 and of 9 March 2017, Doux, C‑141/15, EU:C:2017:188, paragraph 60). It follows that Article 41 of the Charter is irrelevant to the case in the main proceedings.
