K.S. and M.H.K. v The International Protection Appeals Tribunal and Others and R.A.T. and D.S. v Minister for Justice and Equality (C-322/19, C-385/19)

Judgment of 14 Jan 2021law://eu/cjeu/2019/c-322-19/para_57@2026-11-12

57According to the Court’s settled case-law, it follows from the requirement for the uniform application of EU law and from the principle of equal treatment that the terms of a provision of EU law which does not contain any express reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining its meaning and scope must be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union, which interpretation must take into account not only the wording of that provision but also its context and the objective pursued by the legislation in question (judgment of 25 June 2020, Ministerio Fiscal (Authority likely to receive an application for international protection), C‑36/20 PPU, EU:C:2020:495, paragraph 53 and the case-law cited).
