Question referred

Must Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 ( 1 ) be interpreted — also in the light of the grounds already set out by the Court of Justice of the European Union in its judgment of 5 May 2011 in Joined Cases C-230/09 and C-231/09 in relation to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 17[8]8/2003 ( 2 ) — as meaning that any unused portion of the national reference quantity allocated to deliveries can be re-allocated according to objective priority criteria determined by the Member States, or must that provision be interpreted as meaning that the equalling-out stage must be governed exclusively by the criterion of proportionality?
