28While the Institute disputes the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice with respect to that question on the ground that, by that question, the referring court does not seek an interpretation of EU law by the Court, but rather the Court’s ruling on the conformity of Hungarian law with EU law, it should be noted, as a preliminary point, that it is indeed not for the Court, in proceedings under Article 267 TFEU, to rule upon the compatibility of provisions of national law with EU law or to interpret national legislation or regulations (judgments of 1 March 2012, Ascafor and Asidac, C‑484/10, EU:C:2012:113, paragraph 33 and the case-law cited, and of 6 October 2015, Consorci Sanitari del Maresme, C‑203/14, EU:C:2015:664, paragraph 43). The Court does, however, have jurisdiction to give the referring court full guidance on the interpretation of EU law in order to enable it to determine the issue of compatibility for the purposes of the case before it (judgments of 1 March 2012, Ascafor and Asidac, C‑484/10, EU:C:2012:113, paragraph 34 and the case-law cited, and of 26 July 2017, Europa Way and Persidera, C‑560/15, EU:C:2017:593, paragraph 35).
