Summary of the Judgment Agriculture – Common agricultural policy – Direct support schemes – Common rules – Separate sugar payment (Council Regulation No 1782/2003, Art. 143ba(1)) Article 143ba(1) of Regulation No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations No 2019/93, No 1452/2001, No 1453/2001, No 1454/2001, No 1868/94, No 1251/1999, No 1254/1999, No 1673/2000, No 2358/71 and No 2529/2001, as amended by Regulation No 319/2006, must be interpreted as precluding national provisions which exclude from entitlement to a separate sugar payment a farmer not having delivery rights who delivers sugar beet to a sugar manufacturer through an integrátor which does have such rights, when on the other hand those provisions grant a separate payment to a farmer having delivery rights who delivers sugar beet direct to a sugar manufacturer, and to a farmer not having delivery rights who is a member of a producer group which does have delivery rights and who delivers sugar beet to a sugar manufacturer through that group.
