Question referred

Must the first paragraph of Article 33 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001 (1) of 11 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 be interpreted as meaning that the refusal, for the calendar year in question, to grant ‘the aid to which the farmer would have been entitled pursuant to Article 31(2) … under the aid scheme concerned’, refers to the aid payable in implementation of ‘the aid scheme concerned’, as referred to in Article 1(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 (2) of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes, so that it is not only the aid for the ‘crop group concerned’ which must be refused, but the entire aid payable in implementation of one of the aid schemes referred to in that provision, of which the crop group concerned forms part?
