23In that regard, it is appropriate to note that, since it is solely for the national court, before which the dispute has been brought and which must assume responsibility for the judicial decision to be made, to determine, in the light of the particular circumstances of the case, both the need for and the relevance of the questions that it submits to the Court (see, inter alia, judgment of 18 February 2016 in Finanmadrid EFC, C‑49/14, EU:C:2016:98, paragraph 27), the question referred must be answered on that assumption, the merits of which, however, the referring court must assess, taking into account, in particular, and as the Advocate General observed in points 25 to 28 of his Opinion, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual relations (Rome I) (OJ 2008 L 177, p. 6).
