Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Landwirtschaftskammer Niedersachsen

Defendant: Reinhard Westphal

Questions referred







1.


Does the prescription period within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001 (1) begin with the payment of the aid or is the beginning of that period governed by the first sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95? (2)











2.


Are the prescription rules under Article 49(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001 or Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 provisions which impose administrative penalties within the meaning of the second sentence of Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95?










3.


Can Article 52a of Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001 with its provision regarding the retroactive application of the prescription rule of Article 49(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001 also be applied analogously to Article 49(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001?
If the first sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 is applicable (first question), the other questions do not need to be answered; if it is not applicable, the third question becomes devoid of object if the second question is answered in the affirmative.
