48In paragraph 16 of the judgment of 6 October 1982 in Cilfit and Others (283/81, EU:C:1982:335), the Court held, in that regard, that the correct application of EU law may be so obvious as to leave no scope for any reasonable doubt as to the way in which the question raised is to be resolved. Before it comes to the conclusion that such is the case, the national court ruling at last instance must be convinced that the matter is equally obvious to the courts of the other Member States and to the Court of Justice. Only if those conditions are satisfied may the national court refrain from submitting that question to the Court of Justice and take upon itself the responsibility for resolving it.
