41It should be added that, in accordance with Article 52(3) of the Charter, the rights contained therein have the same meaning and scope as the corresponding rights guaranteed by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, signed at Rome on 4 November 1950 (‘ECHR’), which does not preclude EU law from affording more extensive protection. When interpreting the rights guaranteed by the first and second paragraphs of Article 47 and Article 48(2) of the Charter, the Court must, therefore, take account of the corresponding rights guaranteed by Articles 6 and 13 ECHR, as interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights, as the minimum threshold of protection (see, to that effect, judgments of 2 February 2021, Consob, C‑481/19, EU:C:2021:84, paragraph 37 and the case-law cited, and of 9 March 2023, Intermarché Casino Achats v Commission, C‑693/20 P, EU:C:2023:172, paragraphs 41 to 43). Recital 14 of Directive 2012/13 expressly mentions, moreover, the fact that that directive builds upon, inter alia, Article 6, as interpreted by that court.
