Judgment_paragraph 12 · Peter Gauweiler and Others v Deutscher Bundestag (C-62/14)

12It may be observed in this regard that in Kleinwort Benson (C‑346/93, EU:C:1995:85) the Court declared that it does not have jurisdiction to give a ruling where the court making the reference is not bound by the Court’s interpretation. Indeed, the Court does not have jurisdiction to provide, in preliminary ruling proceedings, answers which are purely advisory (see, to that effect, judgment in Kleinwort Benson, C‑346/93, EU:C:1995:85, paragraphs 23 and 24).
