44It follows that the referring court cannot, in the main proceedings, validly claim that it is impossible for it to interpret the provisions of national law at issue in a manner that is compatible with EU law, for the sole reason that those provisions have been interpreted, by the Czech courts, in a way that is not compatible with EU law. Thus, it is for the referring court to ensure that Directive 2008/48 is given full effect, and if necessary to disapply, on its own authority, the interpretation adopted by the Czech courts, since that interpretation is not compatible with EU law (see, by analogy, judgment of 8 November 2016, Ognyanov, C‑554/14, EU:C:2016:835, paragraphs 69 and 70 and the case-law cited).
