Questione giuridica chiave
Whether direct payments require a lawful entitlement to operate the farm, not mere factual cultivation.
Decisione estratta
Direct payments require a legally justified right to cultivate; a purely factual occupation of the farm is insufficient once lawful authorization has ended.
Motivazione estratta
The statutory scheme assumes a legally authorized operator. Granting subsidies to a person cultivating without lawful title would support unlawful conduct and contradict legal certainty and the structure of the direct-payment rules.
