40As regards, first, the fact that the Court’s case-law has already provided an answer to the questions raised by the referring court, it suffices to point out that, even where there is case-law resolving the point of law at issue, national courts remain entirely at liberty to bring a matter before the Court if they consider it appropriate to do so; the fact that the provisions whose interpretation is sought have already been interpreted by the Court does not deprive the Court of jurisdiction to give a further ruling or lead to the inadmissibility of the questions referred (judgment of 6 November 2018, Bauer and Willmeroth, C‑569/16 and C‑570/16, EU:C:2018:871, paragraphs 21 and 22).
