39In that regard, first, in accordance with settled case-law, an interpretation of a provision of EU law cannot have the result of depriving the clear and precise wording of that provision of all effectiveness (judgment of 6 September 2012, Czop and Punakova, C‑147/11 and C‑148/11, EU:C:2012:538, paragraph 32 and the case-law cited). Thus, where the meaning of a provision of EU law is absolutely plain from its very wording, the Court cannot depart from that interpretation.
