26As regards the Court’s power under Article 101 of the Rules of Procedure to send the referring court a request for clarification, it emerges from settled case-law – now reflected in Article 94(b) and (c) of those Rules – that, as the order for reference is the basis of the procedure for referring questions to the Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling, it is essential for the national court to explain, in that order for reference, the factual and legislative context of the dispute before it and to give at the very least some explanation of the reasons for the choice of the provisions of EU law which it requires to be interpreted and of the link that it establishes between those provisions and the national legislation applicable to the dispute (see, to that effect, inter alia, the order in Case C-116/00 Laguillaumie [2000] ECR I-4979, paragraphs 23 and 24; Case C-295/05 Asemfo [2007] ECR I-2999, paragraph 33; and Case C‑79/12 Mora IPR [2013] ECR, paragraph 37).
