19Although, formally, the referring court has limited its questions to the interpretation of the ‘EU law principles on VAT laid down by the Court of Justice’, specifically mentioning the principles of proportionality and of neutrality, that fact does not preclude the Court from providing the referring court with all the elements of interpretation of EU law that may be of assistance in adjudicating in the case pending before it, whether or not the referring court has referred to them in the wording of its questions. In that regard, it is for the Court of Justice to extract from all the information provided by the referring court, in particular from the grounds for the order for reference, the points of that law which require interpretation, having regard to the subject matter of the dispute in the main proceedings (see, to that effect, judgments of 4 October 2018, L.E.G.O., C‑242/17, EU:C:2018:804, paragraph 43; of 7 February 2019, Escribano Vindel, C‑49/18, EU:C:2019:106, paragraph 32, and of 12 February 2019, TC, C‑492/18 PPU, EU:C:2019:108, paragraph 37).
