23As a preliminary observation, it should be recalled that, in the context of a preliminary ruling procedure under Article 267 TFEU, the Court has no jurisdiction to assess the facts in the main proceedings or to apply the rules of EU law which it has been asked to interpret to national measures or situations, since those questions are matters for the exclusive jurisdiction of the national court (see, to that effect, judgment of 8 May 2013, Libert and Others, C‑197/11 and C‑203/11, EU:C:2013:288, paragraph 94). However, the Court may give the referring court an answer that enables it to adjudicate on the case before it by providing that court with all the elements of interpretation of EU law which may be of assistance to that end (see, to that effect, judgment of 18 September 2019, VIPA, C‑222/18, EU:C:2019:751, paragraph 50 and the case-law cited).
