30The GDPR makes no reference to the law of the Member States as regards the meaning and scope of the terms set out in Article 82 of that regulation, in particular as regards the concepts of ‘material or non-material damage’ and of ‘compensation for the damage suffered’. It follows that those terms must be regarded, for the purposes of the application of that regulation, as constituting autonomous concepts of EU law which must be interpreted in a uniform manner in all of the Member States.
