19As a preliminary point, it should be borne in mind that, in the procedure laid down by Article 267 TFEU, providing for cooperation between national courts and the Court of Justice, it is for the latter to provide the referring court with an answer which will be of use to it and enable it to determine the case before it. To that end, the Court may not only have to reformulate the question referred to it, but also to consider provisions of EU law which the national court has not referred to in its questions (see, to that effect, judgment of 16 May 2019, Plessers, C‑509//17, EU:C:2019:424, paragraph 32 and the case-law cited).
