55However, as has been pointed out in paragraph 36 of the present judgment, it is for the national court alone to find and assess the facts of the dispute in the main proceedings. It follows that it is not for the Court, in the context of a new reference for a preliminary ruling, to carry out a review designed to ensure that that national court, after making a request to the Court for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of provisions of EU law applicable to the dispute before it, has applied those provisions in a manner consistent with the interpretation of those provisions given by the Court. Although, under the cooperation between the national courts and the Court established in Article 267 TFEU, it is permissible for the national courts to make a further reference to the Court before settling the dispute before them, in order to obtain further clarifications on the interpretation of EU law provided by the Court (see, to that effect, judgment of 6 October 2021, Consorzio Italian Management and Catania Multiservizi, C‑561/19, EU:C:2021:799, paragraph 38 and the case-law cited), that provision cannot, however, be interpreted as meaning that a national court could make a request to the Court for a preliminary ruling on whether that national court correctly applied, to the case in the main proceedings, the interpretation provided by the Court in response to a request for a preliminary ruling which the national court had previously made to the Court in the same case.
