      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               In accordance with the provisions of Community law, is a breeding animal of the bovine species, which has been entered, as its parents and grandparents were, in the herd-book of the Holstein-Friesian breed by the official organisation of breeders of the Member State, to be considered pure-bred, regardless of the degree of genetic purity of breed of its ancestors?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Must the provision of Decision 2005/379/EC (1) to which reference is made be interpreted as meaning that breeding animals with pedigree certificates that contain the phrase set out in Article 2(1)(a) of that decision are to be considered pure-bred breeding animals and, consequently, give rise to an entitlement to export aids when they are the subject of intra-Community trade?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               In view of the foregoing, is it possible to consider that, although an animal holds a pedigree certificate which has been issued by an association of breeders of the Member State and in which the abovementioned phrase is included, such an animal, when it is the subject of intra-Community trade, does not confer on the trader an entitlement to export aids because it is not considered a pure-bred breeding animal despite there being an official document in which the abovementioned phrase is included?
            
         
      (1)  Commission Decision of 17 May 2005 on pedigree certificates and particulars for pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species, their semen, ova and embryos (OJ 2005 L 125, p. 15).
