159Thus, given that the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU imposes on the Member States a clear and precise obligation as to the result to be achieved and that obligation is not subject to any condition as regards the independence which must characterise the courts called upon to interpret and apply EU law, the Sąd Najwyższy (Izba Cywilna) (Supreme Court (Civil Chamber)), sitting as a panel of three judges, will be required to ensure, within the limits of its jurisdiction, the full effectiveness of that provision (see, to that effect, judgment of 18 May 2021, Asociația ‘Forumul Judecătorilor Din România’ and Others, C‑83/19, C‑127/19, C‑195/19, C‑291/19, C‑355/19 and C‑397/19, EU:C:2021:393, paragraph 250 and the case-law cited), which, in the present case and subject to the assessments still to be made by the referring court, will require, taking into account what has been set out in paragraph 39 of the present judgment, that that order be declared null and void.
