21Since Article 2(1) of Directive 2011/7 makes no express reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining the meaning and scope of the concept of ‘commercial transactions’, it requires an autonomous and uniform interpretation which takes into account both the wording and the context of the provision in which that concept appears as well as the objectives of that provision and the act of EU law of which it forms part (see, to that effect, judgments of 9 July 2020, RL (Directive combating late payment), C‑199/19, EU:C:2020:548, paragraph 27, and of 18 November 2020, Techbau, C‑299/19, EU:C:2020:937, paragraph 38).
