Judgment_paragraph 38 · Techbau SpA v Azienda Sanitaria Locale AL (C-299/19)

38Since the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/35 also makes no express reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining its meaning and scope, that provision must normally be given an independent and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union. Such an interpretation must take account of the terms of that provision, its context and the objectives it pursues (see, by analogy, judgment of 9 July 2020, RL (Directive combating late payment), C‑199/19, EU:C:2020:548, paragraph 27) and, where appropriate, its origins (see, to that effect, judgment 10 December 2018, Wightman and Others, C‑621/18, EU:C:2018:999, paragraph 47).
