Questions referred
1.
Is Article 42(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (1) (‘Regulation No 1698/2005’) — also taking into account Article 46 — to be interpreted as not wholly precluding individuals from aid for the sustainable use of forest land where the land is also partly State owned?
2.
If aid is not wholly precluded, is Article 46 of Regulation No 1698/2005 to be interpreted as meaning that, in relation to the land concerned — which is partly State owned — the private forester or private owner is entitled to aid in proportion to his share of ownership?
