50It follows from the requirements of the uniform application of EU law and of the principle of equal treatment that the terms of a provision of EU law which does not contain any express reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining its meaning and scope must be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union, which interpretation must take into account not only the wording of that provision but also its context and the objective pursued by the legislation in question (judgment of 19 March 2020, Compañía de Tranvías de La Coruña, C‑45/19, EU:C:2020:224, paragraph 14 and the case-law cited).
