      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               May Articles 22 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 (1) and [68] of Commission Regulation No 817/2004 (2) be interpreted as meaning that, in the case of specific programmes for grassland by way of agri-environmental aid under the first article mentioned, the checks on the data contained in the ENAR (Egységes Nyilvántartási és Azonosítási Rendszer — Integrated Identification and Registration System), pursuant to Article 68 of Regulation No 817/2004, must also be extended to area aid specifying a certain density of livestock?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               May the above provisions be interpreted as meaning that cross-checks under the integrated administration and control system must be carried out also in cases where the pre-condition for aid is the density of livestock, although the aid is not for animals?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               May those provisions be interpreted as meaning that, in assessing area aid, the competent authority may or must check whether the conditions for aid are met, independently of the ENAR?
            
         
               4.
            
            
               On the basis of the interpretation of the above provisions, what monitoring obligation arises for the competent authority from the requirement in the above Community provisions for checks and cross-checks? May the monitoring be limited exclusively to review of the data contained in the ENAR?
            
         
               5.
            
            
               Do those provisions impose an obligation on the national authority to provide information concerning the pre-conditions for aid (for example, registration in the ENAR)? If so, in what way and to what extent?
