42According to settled case-law, both the uniform application of EU law and the principle of equality require that the terms of a provision of EU law which makes no express reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining its meaning and scope must normally be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union. In addition, the meaning and scope of terms for which EU law provides no definition must be determined by reference to their usual meaning, while also taking into account the context in which they occur and the purposes of the rules of which they are part (see, to that effect, inter alia, judgment of 17 December 2020, BAKATI PLUS, C‑656/19, EU:C:2020:1045, paragraphs 38 and 39 and the case-law cited).
