40Admittedly, the Italian Government disputes that finding by the referring court. However, it must be borne in mind that, according to settled case-law, 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. As a result, whatever criticism the government of a Member State may have made of the interpretation of national law adopted by the referring court, the questions referred for a preliminary ruling must be examined in the light of that court’s interpretation, the accuracy of which is not a matter for the Court to determine (see, to that effect, judgments of 21 June 2016, New Valmar, C‑15/15, EU:C:2016:464, paragraph 25, and of 21 December 2023, Cofidis, C‑340/22, EU:C:2023:1019, paragraph 31).
