87It should also be borne in mind that where questions referred for a preliminary ruling by a national court, under its own responsibility, concern the validity of a rule of EU law, the Court is in principle bound to give a ruling, unless, in particular, the requirements concerning the content of the request for a preliminary ruling in Article 94 of the Rules of Procedure are not satisfied or it is quite obvious that the interpretation of a provision of EU law, or the assessment of its validity, which is sought by the national court, bears no relation to the actual facts of the main action or to its purpose, or where the problem is hypothetical (see, to that effect, judgment of 6 June 2019, P. M. and Others, C‑264/18, EU:C:2019:472, paragraphs 14 and 15).
