Judgment_paragraph 62 · Recorded Artists Actors Performers Ltd v Phonographic Performance (Ireland) Ltd and Others (C-265/19)

62On the contrary, the context of Article 8(2) of Directive 2006/115 and the objectives of that directive, which are noted in paragraph 50 of the present judgment, as well as the primacy, resulting from Article 216(2) TFEU, which international agreements concluded by the European Union have over other categories of secondary legislation (judgment of 21 December 2011, Air Transport Association of America and Others, C‑366/10, EU:C:2011:864, paragraph 50), mean that Article 8(2) of the directive must be interpreted, as far as possible, in a manner consistent with the WPPT (see, by analogy, judgment of 18 March 2014, Z, C‑363/12, EU:C:2014:159, paragraph 72). That international agreement, which forms an integral part of the EU legal order (see, inter alia, judgments of 30 April 1974, Haegeman, 181/73, EU:C:1974:41, paragraph 5, and of 11 April 2013, HK Danmark, C‑335/11 and C‑337/11, EU:C:2013:222, paragraphs 28 to 30), in principle obliges the European Union and its Member States to grant the right to a single equitable remuneration both to performers and phonogram producers who are nationals of Member States of the European Union and to those who are nationals of other contracting parties to the WPPT.
