19It is settled case-law that it is solely for the national court before which the dispute has been brought, and which must assume responsibility for the subsequent judicial decision, to determine in the light of the particular circumstances of the case both the need for a preliminary ruling in order to enable it to deliver judgment and the relevance of the questions which it submits to the Court. Consequently, where the questions submitted by the national court concern the interpretation of EU law, the Court of Justice is, in principle, bound to give a ruling (see, inter alia, judgments of 15 June 2000, Sehrer, C‑302/98, EU:C:2000:322, paragraph 20, and 25 October 2012, Folien Fischer and Fofitec, C‑133/11, EU:C:2012:664, paragraph 25).
