1.The first and third questions referred by the Supremo Tribunal Administrativo (Supreme Administrative Court, Portugal) are manifestly inadmissible.
2.The second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 of 18 December 1995 on the protection of the European Communities financial interests must be interpreted as meaning that an operational programme, for the purposes of Article 9(f) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds, such as the operational programme ‘Agriculture and rural development’, approved by Commission Decision C(2000) 2878 of 30 October 2000, does not come within the concept of ‘multiannual programme’, within the meaning of the first of those provisions, unless that programme is already covered by concrete actions to be implemented, which is to be determined by the referring court.
