Must [Article 3 and Article 6(1) and (2)] of Regulation No 1408/2013, (1) read together, be interpreted as precluding a Member State from providing for the grant of de minimis State aid for agriculture and granting it, during the first three years following the setting up of the databases at national level and, in any event, until such time as those databases have been fully and completely maintained, in the absence of a specific declaration by the applicant undertaking as to the amount and nature of other State aid received during the three-year fiscal period concerned?

In particular, during that period, does the issue of a self-certified declaration relating to any subsidies received in the previous three years constitute an essential precondition for the submission of the application for compensation and for there to be a right to receive State aid, or may such self-declaration lawfully take place only at the monitoring stage and, thus, after the State aid has been received?
