33In such a case, and pursuant to the allocation of judicial functions between national courts and the Court of Justice under Article 177, it is for the national court alone to assess the precise scope of that reference to Community law, the jurisdiction of the Court being confined to considering provisions of Community law only (Dzodzi and Federconsorzi, cited above, paragraphs 41 to 42 and paragraph 10 respectively). Consideration of the limits which the national legislature may have placed on the application of Community law to purely internal situations is a matter for domestic law and consequently falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Member State (Dzodzi, cited above, paragraph 42 and the judgment in Case C-73/89 Fournier [1992] ECR I-5621, paragraph 23).
