34In accordance with settled case-law, the wording used in certain language versions of a provision of EU law cannot serve as the sole basis for the interpretation of that provision or be given priority over the other language versions in that regard. The need for uniform application and, therefore, for uniform interpretation of an EU act precludes one version of the text being considered in isolation, but requires that the provision at issue be interpreted by reference to the general scheme and purpose of the rules of which it forms part, in the light, in particular, of the versions in all languages (see, to that effect, judgments of 12 November 1969, Stauder, 29/69, EU:C:1969:57, paragraphs 2 and 3; of 30 June 2022, Allianz Elementar Versicherung, C‑652/20, EU:C:2022:514, paragraph 36, and of 18 January 2024, Regionalna direktsia ‘Avtomobilna administratsia’ Pleven, C‑227/22, EU:C:2024:57, paragraph 43).
