         Pleas in law and main arguments
   By the present application the European Commission, as representative of the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), asks the Court to order the company incorporated under Italian law, Acentro Turismo SpA, to pay the sum of EUR 13 497,46, plus default interest, owed on the basis of the rules relating to performance laid down by contract No 349-90-04 TL ISP I for the provision of services, concluded in 1990 and intended to give that company the functions of travel agent on the Ispra site.
   The Commission submits in that regard that Acentro did not honour two invoices, issued by the Commission itself on the basis of Article 8 of the contested contract, and that the existence of that credit is sufficiently proven with regard to the content of that contract and the credit in question is therefore irrefutable, liquid and collectable.
