70In that regard, it should be noted that, in paragraph 31 of the judgment of 9 April 2014, T-Mobile Austria (Case C‑616/11, EU:C:2014:242), concerning the interpretation of Article 4(23) of Directive 2007/64, the Court, first of all, noted that there was some divergence between the different language versions of that provision, as regards the use of the adjective ‘personalised’ to describe the phrase ‘any … device’ and/or the phrase ‘set of procedures’ according to those versions. The Court then recalled, in paragraph 32 of that judgment, the settled case-law according to which, first, the provisions of EU law must be interpreted and applied in a uniform manner, in the light of the versions drawn up in all EU languages, and, secondly, that where there is divergence between the language versions of an EU legal text, the provision in question must be interpreted by reference to the general scheme and purpose of the rules of which it forms part. Lastly, in paragraph 33 of that judgment, the Court held that, in order to be considered as ‘personalised’, within the meaning of that provision, a payment instrument must allow the payment service provider to verify that the payment order was initiated by a user authorised to do so.
