Judgment_paragraph 26 · Istituto nazionale della previdenza sociale v VR (C-303/19)

26Second, as regards recital 4 of Directive 2003/109, it must be recalled, first of all, that the preamble to an EU act has no binding legal force and cannot be relied on as a ground either for derogating from the actual provisions of the act in question or for interpreting those provisions in a manner that is clearly contrary to their wording (see, to that effect, judgments of 19 November 1998, Nilsson and Others, C‑162/97, EU:C:1998:554, paragraph 54, and of 19 December 2019, Puppinck and Others v Commission, C‑418/18 P, EU:C:2019:1113, paragraph 76).
