19Moreover, it is settled case-law that, in connection with the procedure provided for in Article 267 TFEU, which is based on a clear separation of functions between the national courts and the Court of Justice, the latter is empowered only to give rulings on the interpretation or the validity of a EU law provision on the basis of the facts which the national court puts before it (see judgments in WWF and Others, C‑435/97, EU:C:1999:418, paragraph 31, and Endress, C‑209/12, EU:C:2013:864, paragraph 19 and the case-law cited). As regards, specifically, the alleged omissions and factual errors in the order for reference, it is sufficient to note that it is not for the Court of Justice but for the national court to ascertain the facts which have given rise to the dispute and to establish the consequences which they have for the judgment which it is required to deliver (judgment in PreussenElektra, C‑379/98, EU:C:2001:160, paragraph 40).
