    Re:

    Appeal against the judgment delivered on 17 March 2005 by the Court of First Instance (Third Chamber), Agraz, SA and Others v Commission, in which the Court rejected an action for compensation for the damage allegedly sustained by the applicants by reason of the method adopted for calculation of production aid as set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1519/2000 of 12 July 2000 setting for the 2000/1 marketing year the minimum price and the amount of production aid for processed tomato products (OJ 2000 L 174, p. 29)

    Operative part of the judgment

    The Court:

    1)

    Sets aside the judgment of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities of 17 March 2005 in Case T-285/03 Agraz and Others v Commission in so far as it dismissed the claims of the appellants in the present appeal on the ground that the alleged loss was not certain and, consequently, in so far as it ordered them to bear five sixths of their costs and ordered the Commission to pay a sixth of the appellants' costs and to bear its own costs;

    2)

    Refers the case back to the Court of First Instance of the European Communities;

    3)

    Reserves the costs.
