Judgment_paragraph 85 · Cantina sociale di Dolianova Soc. coop. rl and Others v Commission of the European Communities (T-166/98)

85The Commission puts forward three grounds of inadmissibility of the present action for damages. First, in the management of the support measures provided for under the common agricultural policy, there is no direct relationship between the Community and economic operators. In the present case, there is no conduct attributable to the Commission, so that the conditions for referral of the matter to the Court under the second paragraph of Article 215 of the EC Treaty (now the second paragraph of Article 288 EC) are not met (Case 132/77 Exportation des sucres v Commission [1978] ECR 1061; Case 12/79 Wagner Agrarhandel v Commission [1979] ECR 3657 and Case 133/79 Sucrimex and Westzucker v Commission [1980] ECR 1299).
