76In that regard, the Court has previously had occasion to emphasise that it was neither illegitimate nor unusual, under international law, for provision to be made that the Parties to an international agreement may clarify, as their joint wishes concerning the effect of that agreement develop, the interpretation of that agreement. Such clarification may be introduced by the Parties themselves or by a body set up by the Parties on which they confer a power to adopt decisions that will be binding on them. Such interpretative acts have, in that case, the legal effects stemming from Article 31(3)(a) of the Vienna Convention (see, to that effect, Opinion 1/17 (EU-Canada CET Agreement), of 30 April 2019, EU:C:2019:341, paragraphs 233 and 234).
