44Moreover, although it is true that the Court has on a number of occasions taken the view that, in order to ensure the effectiveness of provisions of EU law relating to compulsory insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, those provisions had to be interpreted as meaning that they precluded national legislation which undermined that effectiveness, in that, by automatically excluding or disproportionately limiting the victim’s right to compensation by compulsory insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, they impeded the achievement of the objective of protecting victims of road traffic accidents, which has continuously been pursued and reinforced by the EU legislature (see, to that effect, judgment of 14 September 2017, Delgado Mendes, C‑503/16, EU:C:2017:681, paragraphs 38 and 49 and the case-law cited), that is not the case for an interpretation of national legislation such as that at issue in the main proceedings.
