9It must next be borne in mind that the purpose of the subrogation of the Communities is to ensure that an official is not compensated twice in respect of the same damage (see judgment in Case 103/81 Chaumont-Barthel v Parliament [1982] ECR 1003, paragraph 11). In so far as the damage suffered by an official renders the Communities subject to the obligation to pay him benefits under the Staff Regulations, the risk of twofold compensation can only be avoided if the official is deprived of his rights against any third party responsible for causing him damage, those rights being transferred ţo the Communities.
