STATES TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF ANY OTHER SUM PAID . MOREOVER , THE COURT ADDED THAT A STRICT INTERPRETATION OF THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH EXPENDITURE IS TO BE BORNE BY THE FUND IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY IN CONDITIONS OF EQUALITY BETWEEN TRADERS IN THE MEMBER STATES REQUIRES THAT THE NATIONAL AUTHORITIES OF A MEMBER STATE SHOULD NOT , BY THE EXPEDIENT OF A WIDE INTERPRETATION OF A GIVEN PROVISION , FAVOUR OR TREAT UNFAVOURABLY TRADERS OF THAT STATE IN COMPARISON WITH THOSE OF OTHER MEMBER STATES .
32 ARTICLE 2 OF REGULATION NO 567/76 REQUIRES THE MEMBER STATES TO PAY THE AIDS NOT BY MEANS OF A SINGLE PAYMENT BUT BY MEANS , INITIALLY , OF AN IMMEDIATE PAYMENT ON ACCOUNT INTENDED TO ASSIST PRODUCERS WHO WISH TO HAVE THEIR WINE DISTILLED TO TAKE A DECISION , AND , SECONDLY , A PAYMENT OF THE BALANCE AFTER PROOF HAS BEEN FURNISHED THAT THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE WINE INDICATED IN THE CONTRACT HAS IN FACT BEEN DISTILLED .

IT THEREFORE FOLLOWS THAT THE PARTIES WILL HAVE TO EXAMINE THE ACCOUNTS TOGETHER IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHICH SUMS SHOULD ACTUALLY BE CHARGED TO THE FUND ON THAT BASIS .

THE FUND ' S GUARANTEE SECTION WAS TO REIMBURSE UP TO 50% OF THE EXPENDITURE THEREBY INCURRED .
35 IT IS COMMON GROUND THAT THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC ORGANIZED ITS PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN AFTER 20 JULY 1975 . ON ACCOUNT OF THAT DELAY THE COMMISSION REFUSED TO CHARGE THE EXPENDITURE THEREBY INCURRED TO THE FUND .
36 THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT MAINTAINED THAT IT HAD INCORRECTLY INTERPRETED THE WORD ' PROMOTE ' WHICH IT HAD UNDERSTOOD AS MEANING NOT
