35If the Court were to consider that Article 9 of the Association Agreement cannot be validly relied on as a basis for Mr Öztürk's claims, the question would remain, according to the national court, whether Mr Öztürk may, for that purpose, invoke the bilateral agreement and Regulation No 1408/71. Having regard to the case-law of the Court on the admissibility of requests for preliminary rulings (see, in particular, Joined Cases C-297/88 and C-197/89 Dzodzi [1990] ECR I-3763, paragraphs 16 to 18, Case C-231/89 Gmurzynska-Bscher [1990] ECR I-4003, paragraphs 18 to 26, and Case C-130/95 Giloy [1997] ECR I-4291, paragraphs 20 to 29), the Court of Justice has jurisdiction to rule as to the interpretation of Article 45(1) of Regulation No 1408/71 for the purposes of resolving the dispute in the main proceedings.
