Abstract

The reference for a preliminary ruling is the most useful legal instrument available to the national courts in order to obtain an authentic interpretation of a European Union legislative act or to check the validity of a Union act. The article examines the Court of Justice's recommendations on the reference for a preliminary ruling, recommendations published in the Official Journal of the European Union at the end of 2016, which are intended to ensure the application of this fundamental mechanism under effective conditions.
