35However, it must be borne in mind that, by the judgment of 27 September 2012, Zuckerfabrik Jülich and Others (C‑113/10, C‑147/10 and C‑234/10, EU:C:2012:591), the Court declared Regulation No 1193/2009 to be invalid. As is apparent, inter alia, from paragraphs 48 and 49 of that judgment, the method set out in that regulation, used by the Commission to determine the production levies for the 2001/2002 to 2005/2006 marketing years, was incorrect because it led to an artificial increase in the total amount of refunds. As such, as is apparent from paragraph 69 of that judgment, producers were entitled not only to reimbursement of the sums paid unduly in respect of production levies unduly levied by Member States during the period in question, but also to payment of interest on those sums.
