64Although that examination is, admittedly, in principle a matter for the referring court alone, the fact remains that the Court of Justice has jurisdiction to deduce from the provisions of EU law the criteria that the referring court may or must apply within the framework of EU law. Nor is there anything preventing a national court from asking the Court of Justice to rule on the application of those provisions in the case in point, provided, however, that the national court carries out the finding and assessment of the facts necessary for that purpose in the light of all the material in the file before it (see, to that effect, judgment of 3 December 2015, Banif Plus Bank, C‑312/14, EU:C:2015:794, paragraphs 51 and 52).
