36The fact that the manifest error committed by the court of the Member State of origin concerns a rule of EU law does not alter the conditions for reliance upon the public-policy clause for the purpose of Article 34(1) of Regulation No 44/2001. It is for the national court to ensure with equal diligence the protection of rights established in national law and rights conferred by EU law. That clause would apply only where that error of law means that the recognition of the judgment concerned in the State in which recognition is sought would result in the manifest breach of an essential rule of law in the EU legal order and therefore in the legal order of that Member State (judgments of 11 May 2000, Renault, C‑38/98, EU:C:2000:225, paragraph 32, and of 16 July 2015, Diageo Brands, C‑681/13, EU:C:2015:471, paragraphs 48 and 50).
