35As a preliminary point, it must be borne in mind that, although the Court does not, in a reference for a preliminary ruling, have jurisdiction to give a ruling on the compatibility of a national measure with European Union law, it does have jurisdiction to supply the national court with a ruling on the interpretation of European Union law so as to enable that court to determine whether such compatibility exists in order to decide the case before it (see, inter alia, Case C-124/99 Borawitz [2000] ECR I-7293, paragraph 17; Case C-60/05 WWF Italia and Others [2006] ECR I-5083, paragraph 18; and Case C-439/06 citiworks [2008] ECR I-3913, paragraph 21).
