Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the entire 2,119 a in B. had to be recognized as agricultural land for direct payments.
Decisione estratta
No. Only the areas actually qualifying as agricultural land were to be counted; pasture used like summering land could be treated as summering area even outside the formal summering zone.
Motivazione estratta
Under the applicable regulations, agricultural land must be available year-round to the operator. The courts upheld the administrative practice that distant pastures used analogously to summering land are not to receive higher direct-payment treatment merely because they lie outside the zoned summering area.
