23In addition, the Court has repeatedly held that 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 necessity and the relevance of the questions that it submits to the Court. Consequently, where the questions submitted concern the interpretation of EU law, the Court is in principle bound to give a ruling (judgments of 26 January 2017, Banco Primus, C‑421/14, EU:C:2017:60, paragraph 29, and of 20 September 2017, Andriciuc and Others, C‑186/16, EU:C:2017:703, paragraph 19).
