35In that regard, it should be noted that the Court has indeed declined jurisdiction where it was obvious that the provision of European Union law referred to the Court for interpretation was incapable of applying, as, for example, in purely internal situations. However, even in such situations, the Court may carry out the requested interpretation where national law requires the referring court, in cases such as those at issue in the main proceedings, to grant the same rights to a national as those which a national of another Member State in the same situation would derive from European Union law (see, to that effect, inter alia, Joined Cases C-570/07 and C-571/07 Blanco Pérez and Chao Gómez [2010] ECR I-4629, paragraph 39; Case C-245/09 Omalet [2010] ECR I-13771, paragraph 15; and Case C-84/11 Susisalo and Others [2011] ECR, paragraphs 17 and 20). Therefore, it is clearly in the European Union’s interest that the Court interpret the provision of European Union law at issue.
