51Moreover, recital 19 of that directive cannot lead to an interpretation of Article 2(4) and Article 5(2) that would be inconsistent with the wording of those provisions. According to settled case-law, while the preamble to an EU act may explain the content of the provisions of that act and provides elements of interpretation which are likely to clarify the intention of the author of that act, it has no binding legal value and cannot be relied upon to derogate from the provisions of the act itself or to interpret those provisions in a manner contrary to their wording (see, to that effect, judgment of 25 March 2021, Balgarska Narodna Banka, C‑501/18, EU:C:2021:249, paragraph 90 and the case-law cited).
