Judgment_paragraph 23 · YO v SVEMA TRADE, d. o. o (C-567/24)

23It is settled case-law that 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 given priority over 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. Accordingly, 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 general scheme and purpose of the rules of which it forms part (judgments of 27 October 1977, Boucherau, 30/77, EU:C:1977:172, paragraph 14, and of 30 April 2025, Celní jednatelství Zelinka, C‑330/24, EU:C:2025:296, paragraph 19 and the case-law cited).
