30More specifically, it has already been held that the Commission’s powers for the purpose of determining whether aid is compatible with the internal market do not preclude a national court from referring to the Court of Justice a question on the interpretation of the concept of aid (judgment in DM Transport, C‑256/97, EU:C:1999:332, paragraph 15). Accordingly, the Court has jurisdiction, inter alia, to give the national court guidance on interpretation of EU law to enable it to determine whether a national measure may be classified as State aid under that law (see, to that effect, judgment in Fallimento Traghetti del Mediterraneo, C‑140/09, EU:C:2010:335, paragraph 24 and the case-law cited).
