42According to settled case-law, in the context of the cooperation between the Court and the national courts provided for in Article 267 TFEU, it is solely for the national court before which the dispute has been brought which must bear the responsibility for the subsequent judicial decision, to determine, in the light of the special features of the case, both the need for a preliminary ruling in order to enable it to deliver judgment and the relevance of the questions which it submits to the Court. Consequently, where the questions submitted concern the interpretation of EU law, the Court is, in principle, obliged to give a ruling (judgments of 18 October 1990, Dzodzi, C‑297/88 and C‑197/89, EU:C:1990:360, paragraphs 34 and 35, and of 10 December 2020, J & S Service, C‑620/19, EU:C:2020:1011, paragraph 31 and the case-law cited).
