40Therefore, it is appropriate to determine whether a body may refer a case to the Court of Justice on the basis of criteria relating both to the constitution of that body and to its function. In that connection, a national body may be classified as a court or tribunal within the meaning of Article 267 TFEU, when it is performing judicial functions, but when exercising other functions, of an administrative nature, for example, it cannot be recognised as such (see, in particular, order of 26 November 1999 in Case C-192/98 ANAS [1999] ECR I-8583, paragraph 22).
