Judgment_paragraph 33 · Proceedings brought by Vincent Pierre Oberle (C-20/17)

33As regards, more specifically, the question whether Article 4 of Regulation No 650/2012 determines the international jurisdiction of the courts of the Member States with regard to the issuing of national certificates of succession, it should be borne in mind that, according to the settled case-law of the Court, the provisions relating to the rules on jurisdiction, in so far as they do not expressly refer to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining their meaning and scope, must be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union; that interpretation must take into account not only the wording of those provisions but also their context and the objective pursued by the legislation in question (see, to that effect, judgments of 18 December 2014, Sanders and Huber, C‑400/13 and C‑408/13, EU:C:2014:2461, paragraph 24, and of 1 March 2018, Mahnkopf, C‑558/16, EU:C:2018:138, paragraph 32).
