60That interpretation is all the more compelling in that, for a distributor, having recourse under contract to third-party companies to carry out some of the tasks of distribution is an exception to the principle that he must distribute the film himself, which means that it must be interpreted strictly (see, to that effect, judgments of 17 September 2014 in Baltic Agro, C‑3/13, ECR, EU:C:2014:2227, paragraph 24 and the case-law cited, and 22 May 2012 in Internationaler Hilfsfonds v Commission, T‑300/10, ECR, EU:T:2012:247, paragraph 90 and the case-law cited). Moreover, point 13.3 of the Guidelines, in mentioning the obligation to ‘submit all distribution agreements relevant’, recalls the importance of giving the EACEA proper information.
