38Although the order for reference must, on pain of being declared inadmissible, comply with the requirements set out in Article 94 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court (see, to that effect, judgment of 5 July 2016, Ognyanov, C‑614/14, EU:C:2016:514, paragraphs 18, 19 and 21), the refusal to rule on a question referred for a preliminary ruling by a national court is however possible only where it is manifestly clear that the interpretation of EU law that is sought bears no relation to the actual facts of the main action or its purpose, where the problem is hypothetical, or where the Court does not have before it the factual or legal material necessary to enable it to give a useful answer to the questions submitted to it (judgment of 12 October 2017, Kubicka, C‑218/16, EU:C:2017:755, paragraph 32 and the case-law cited).
