19In that regard, it should be recalled that, according to settled case-law, the wording used in one language version of a provision of EU law cannot serve as the sole basis for the interpretation of that provision, or be made to override the other language versions. Provisions of EU law must be interpreted and applied uniformly in the light of the versions existing in all languages of the European Union. Where there is a divergence between the various language versions of an EU legislative text, the provision in question must be interpreted by reference to the purpose and general scheme of the rules of which it forms part (judgments of 27 October 1977, Boucherau, 30/77, EU:C:1977:172, paragraph 14; of 9 July 2020, Banca Transilvania, C‑81/19, EU:C:2020:532, paragraph 33; and of 21 December 2021, Trapeza Peiraios, C‑243/20, EU:C:2021:1045, paragraph 32).
