48However, the Court, when giving a preliminary ruling, may, where appropriate, provide clarification designed to give the national court guidance in its interpretation (judgment of 13 July 2006, Manfredi and Others, C‑295/04 to C‑298/04, EU:C:2006:461, paragraph 48 and the case-law cited). Although the Court has no jurisdiction under Article 267 TFEU to apply EU law to specific cases, it can nevertheless provide the national court with the interpretative criteria needed to enable it to decide the case before it (see, inter alia, judgments of 26 January 1977, Gesellschaft für Überseehandel, 49/76, EU:C:1977:9, paragraph 4, and of 8 July 1992, Knoch, C‑102/91, EU:C:1992:303, paragraph 18).
