Judgment_paragraph 85 · Thomas Pringle v Government of Ireland and Others (C-370/12)

85Further, it must be emphasised in that regard that the information provided in orders for reference serves not only to enable the Court to give useful answers but also to ensure that governments of the Member States and other interested parties have the opportunity to submit observations in accordance with Article 23 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union. It is for the Court to ensure that that opportunity is safeguarded, given that, under that provision, only the orders for reference are notified to the interested parties, accompanied by a translation in the official language of each Member State, but excluding any case‑file that may be sent to the Court by the national court (order of 23 March 2012 in Case C‑348/11 Thomson Sales Europe, paragraph 49 and case‑law cited).
