53In that regard, it should be borne in mind that it is true that requests for a preliminary ruling concerning the interpretation of provisions of EU law in situations which fall outside the scope of EU law are admissible where those provisions, without amendment of their purpose or scope, have been rendered applicable on account of a direct and unconditional reference made by national law. In those situations, it is clearly in the interest of the EU legal order that, in order to forestall future differences of interpretation, the provisions taken from EU law should be interpreted uniformly (see, to that effect, judgments of 18 October 1990, Dzodzi, C‑297/88 and C‑197/89, EU:C:1990:360, paragraphs 36 and 37, and of 13 October 2022, Baltijas Starptautiskā Akadēmija and Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, C‑164/21 and C‑318/21, EU:C:2022:785, paragraph 35).
