18Finally, as regards the objection raised by the Kingdom of the Netherlands that the Commission did not provide in the Summary Report adequate reasons for its decision, either in relation to the principle of disallowing expenditure relating to butter tested before the expiry of the test period or in relation to the figure of 0.25%, it is necessary to point out that the Court has consistently held (judgment in Case 1251/79 Italy y Commission [1981] ECR 205) that in the particular context of the preparation of decisions relating to the clearance of accounts the statement of reasons for a decision must be regarded as sufficient if the Member State to which the decision was addressed was closely involved in the process by which the decision came about and was aware of the reasons for which the Commission took the view that it must not charge the sum in dispute to the Fund.
