29However, first, the Court has held that, where a provision of an international agreement can apply both to situations falling within the scope of EU law and to situations not covered by that law, it is clearly in the interest of the European Union that, in order to forestall future differences of interpretation, that provision should be interpreted uniformly, whatever the circumstances in which it is to apply (see to that effect, judgments of 17 July 1997, Giloy, C‑130/95, EU:C:1997:372, paragraphs 23 to 28; of 16 June 1998, Hermès, C‑53/96, EU:C:1998:292, paragraph 32; and of 14 December 2000, Dior and Others, C‑300/98 and C‑392/98, EU:C:2000:688, paragraph 35).
