134As regards the line of argument that the requests for a preliminary ruling essentially ask the Court to assess the scope, the effects and the legality of the decisions of the Curtea Constituțională (Constitutional Court) at issue in the main proceedings and to rule on certain points of fact accepted by that court, it should be recalled, first, that, although in proceedings under Article 267 TFEU, which are based on a clear separation of functions between the national courts and the Court, the national court alone has jurisdiction to find and assess the facts in the case before it and to interpret and apply national law, it is for the Court, by contrast, to provide the national court that made a reference for a preliminary ruling with guidance on the interpretation of EU law that may be necessary for the outcome of the case in the main proceedings, while taking into account the indications contained in the order for reference as to the national law applicable to that case and to the facts characterising the latter (judgment of 6 October 2021, W.Ż. (Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court – Appointment), C‑487/19, EU:C:2021:798, paragraph 78 and the case-law cited).
