Judgment_paragraph 42 · Entoma SAS v Ministre de l’Économie et des Finances and Ministre de l'Agriculture et de l'Alimentation (C-526/19)

42First, as is apparent from paragraphs 30 to 36 of the present judgment, the usual meaning in everyday language of the terms ‘isolated from animals’, in Article 1(2)(e) of Regulation No 258/97, which is moreover the same in all language versions, leads to a finding that those terms clearly exclude whole animals from the scope of that provision. As the Advocate General notes in essence in point 61 of his Opinion, the clear wording of that provision cannot in principle be called into question by a teleological interpretation of that provision, which would amount to expanding the scope of that regulation and which is for the EU legislature alone to decide.
