59In that regard, it should be borne in mind that Article 51(1) of the Charter provides that the provisions thereof are addressed to the Member States only when they are implementing EU law. Article 6(1) TEU and Article 51(2) of the Charter specify that the provisions of the Charter are not to extend in any way the competences of the European Union as defined in the Treaties. Accordingly, the Court is called upon to interpret, in the light of the Charter, EU law within the limits of the powers conferred on it and therefore has no jurisdiction to examine the compatibility with the Charter of national legislation falling outside the scope of EU law (see, to that effect, judgments of 6 March 2014, Siragusa, C‑206/13, EU:C:2014:126, paragraphs 20 and 21, and of 10 July 2014, Julián Hernández and Others, C‑198/13, EU:C:2014:2055, paragraph 32).
