Maria La Palma Soc. coop. arl and Cantina sociale del Vermentino Soc. coop. arl Monti-Sassari and ordered the Commission of the European Communities to make good the damage suffered by them as a result of the insolvency of Distilleria Agricola Industriale di Terralba by reason of the absence of a procedure capable of guaranteeing, under the system introduced by Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2499/82 of 15 September 1982 laying down provisions concerning preventive distillation for the 1982/1983 wine year, payment to the producers concerned of the Community aid provided for by that regulation.
