45However, it is for the national court alone to determine the subject matter of the questions which it wishes to refer to the Court. Thus, where the request itself does not reveal a need to reformulate those questions, the Court cannot, at the request of a party to the main proceedings, examine questions which have not been submitted to it by the national court. If, in view of developments during the proceedings, the national court were to consider it necessary to obtain further interpretations of EU law, it would be for it to make a fresh reference to the Court (see judgments of 23 October 1997, Franzén, C‑189/95, EU:C:1997:504, paragraph 79, and of 17 October 2024, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, C‑159/23, EU:C:2024:887, paragraph 28 and the case-law cited).
