         Operative part of the judgment
      
      Article 2(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 of 29 October 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers must be interpreted as meaning that meadows or pasture situated in a special protection area and which are subject to natural periodic flooding or submersion are not excluded from the concept of ‘permanent pasture’, within the meaning of that provision, since such flooding or submersion cannot, in themselves, cause a ‘crop rotation’ on the land concerned, within the meaning of that same provision.
