      Operative part of the order
   
   Article 6(1) of Directive 2000/26/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 May 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles and amending Council Directives 73/239/EEC and 88/357/EEC (Fourth motor insurance Directive) must be interpreted as meaning that, on the one hand, the injured party may claim compensation for the harm suffered from the compensation body in accordance with the conditions set out in that article and, on the other, that claim must necessarily first have been submitted to the compensation body, without prejudice to the injured party’s right, if necessary, subsequently to bring an action before the court having territorial jurisdiction if that claim has been rejected by that compensation body.
