               annul Commission Decision C(2007) 4477 of 3 October 2006, notified on 4 October 2007, in so far as it excludes from Community financing and charges to the budget of the Italian Republic the financial consequences to be applied in connection with clearance of the expenditure financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   By the present action, the applicant challenges the lawfulness of the contested decision, in so far as it excludes from Community financing and charges to the budget of the Italian Republic the financial consequences to be applied in connection with clearance of the expenditure financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.
   The actual expenditure excluded from that financing, which is the subject-matter of the action, relates to premiums for bovines, controls of the mills, the existence of the olive-oil register and the geographical information system for olives, controls of the yield, checks of the destination of the oil and dried fodder.
