Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Consiglio di Giustizia Amministrativa per la Regione siciliana — Interpretation of Council Regulation (EC) No 950/97 of 20 May 1997 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures — National legislation refusing to grant the compensatory allowance for permanent natural handicaps to farmers in receipt of a length-of-service pension
Operative part of the judgment
Articles 17 and 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No 950/97 of 20 May 1997 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures confer on Member States the right to grant a compensatory allowance to a farmer who fulfils the conditions laid down in those two articles. However, those articles do not preclude a Member State from refusing payment of such an allowance where that farmer is in receipt of a pension, in particular, a length-of-service pension.
