40Consequently, even if, formally, the referring court has limited its questions to the interpretation of Article 22(1)(b) of Directive 2003/88, that does not prevent the Court from providing the referring court with all the elements of interpretation of European Union law which may be of assistance in adjudicating in the case pending before it, whether or not the referring court has referred to them in the wording of its questions. It is, in this regard, for the Court to extract from all the information provided by the national court, in particular from the grounds of the decision to make the reference, the points of European Union law which require interpretation in view of the subject-matter of the dispute (see Case C-229/08 Wolf [2010] ECR I-1, paragraph 32 and the case-law cited).
