Judgment_paragraph 89 · Lietuvos notarų rūmai and Others v Lietuvos Respublikos konkurencijos taryba (C-128/21)

89As a preliminary point, it is important to emphasise that, in the context of the procedure under Article 267 TFEU, which is based on a clear separation of functions between the national courts and the Court, the Court’s role is limited to interpreting the provisions of EU law on which it is asked, in this case Article 101(1) TFEU. Accordingly, it is for the referring court, rather than the Court, to make the final assessment as to whether, having regard to all the relevant factors characterising the situation in the main proceedings and the economic and legal context in which it arises, the agreement at issue has as its object and/or effect the restriction of competition (see, to that effect, judgment of 18 November 2021, Visma Enterprise, C‑306/20, EU:C:2021:935, paragraph 51 and the case-law cited).
