35As regards the relevance of the provisions referred to, it is settled case-law that the fact that the terms in which a national court has framed a question referred for a preliminary ruling mention certain provisions of EU law does not preclude the Court from providing that court with all the elements of interpretation which may be of assistance in adjudicating the case pending before it, whether or not that court has referred to them in the wording of its questions (see, inter alia, Case C-152/03 Ritter-Coulais [2006] ECR I-1711, paragraph 29; Joined Cases C-307/09 to C-309/09 Vicoplus and Others [2011] ECR I-453, paragraph 22; and Case C-248/11 Nilaş and Others [2012] ECR, paragraph 31). In that context, it is for the Court to extract from all the information provided by the national court - and, in particular, from the grounds of the decision referring the questions - the points of EU law which require interpretation, regard being had to the subject matter of the dispute (see Case C-115/08 ČEZ [2009] ECR I-10265, paragraph 81, and Idryma Typou, paragraph 31).
