Judgment_paragraph 27 · Ioannis Katsivardas - Nikolaos Tsitsikas OE v Ypourgos Oikonomikon (C-160/09)

27It is also settled case-law that questions on the interpretation of Community law referred by a national court in the factual and legislative context which that court is responsible for defining, and the accuracy of which is not a matter for the Court to verify, enjoy a presumption of relevance. The Court can decline to rule on a reference for a preliminary ruling from a national court only where it is quite obvious that the interpretation of Community law that is sought bears no relation to the actual facts of the main action or to its purpose, where the problem is hypothetical, or where the Court does not have before it the factual or legal material necessary to give a useful answer to the questions submitted to it (Case C-210/06 Cartesio [2008] ECR I-9641, paragraph 67 and the case-law cited).
