22There is not enough force in any of those arguments to rebut the presumption of relevance attaching to questions referred by the national courts for a preliminary ruling. That is possible only in exceptional cases, where it is quite obvious that the interpretation of Community law sought bears no relation to the actual facts of the main action or to its purpose, or where the problem is hypothetical and the Court does not have before it the factual or legal material necessary to give a useful answer to the questions submitted to it (see, inter alia, Case C-415/93 Bosman [1995] ECR I-4921, paragraph 61, and Case C-105/94 Celestini [1997] ECR I-2971, paragraph 22). Save for such cases, the Court is, in principle, required to give a ruling on questions concerning the interpretation of Community law (see Bosman, cited above, paragraph 59).
