35In particular, it should be stated in that regard that the Court must take into account, under the division of jurisdiction between the Courts of the European Union and the national courts, the factual and legal context, as set out in the order for reference, of the questions referred for a preliminary ruling. Consequently, a reference for a preliminary ruling must be examined in the light of the interpretation of national law provided by the referring court and not that relied on by the government of a Member State (see, to that effect, inter alia, judgments of 21 June 2016, New Valmar, C‑15/15, EU:C:2016:464, paragraph 25, and of 15 April 2021, État belge (Circumstances subsequent to a transfer decision), C‑194/19, EU:C:2021:270, paragraph 26).
