Judgment_paragraph 94 · Sea Watch eV v Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti and Others (C-14/21)

94As has been indicated in paragraph 3 of the present judgment, the Convention on the Law of the Sea was concluded by the European Union, with the result that it is binding on the European Union and its provisions form an integral part of the EU legal order. Furthermore, it has primacy, within that legal order, over acts of EU secondary legislation, which means that those acts must be interpreted, as far as possible, in conformity with the provisions of that convention (see, to that effect, judgments of 30 May 2006, Commission v Ireland, C‑459/03, EU:C:2006:345, paragraph 82; of 3 June 2008, Intertanko and Others, C‑308/06, EU:C:2008:312, paragraphs 42 and 53; and of 11 July 2018, Bosphorus Queen Shipping, C‑15/17, EU:C:2018:557, paragraph 44).
