( Case 33/78 ) [ 1978 ] E.C.R. 2183 ) , the concept of matters relating to a contract should be regarded as an independent concept which , for the purpose of the application of the Convention , must be interpreted by reference chiefly to the system and objectives of the Convention , in order to ensure it is fully effective . |
