Med hensyn til den italienske regerings indsigelse om, at det ikke er godtgjort, at der foreligger en skade for fællesskabsretten, miskender den reglerne om fordeling af bevisbyrden.
By an order lodged with the Registry of the Court on 21 January 1994, the Kingdom of the Netherlands sought, the partial annulment of Commission Decision 93/659/EC of 25 November 1993 on the clearance of the accounts presented by the Member States in respect of the expenditure for 1990 of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section (OJ 1993 L 301 p.
Selv om det påhviler Kommissionen at godtgøre, at der foreligger tilsidesættelse af fællesskabsbestemmelserne, påhviler det medlemsstaten i givet fald at godtgøre, at Kommissionen har begået en fejl med hensyn til de økonomiske følger, der skal drages heraf.
Under Article 2 of Council Directive 81/177/EEC of 24 February 1981 on the harmonisation of procedures for the export of Community goods, the export of goods from the customs territory of the Community is conditional upon the lodging of an export declaration at a customs office.
Denne bestemmelse skal ses i sammenhæng med den forpligtelse til loyalt samarbejde med Kommissionen, som er indført ved EF-traktatens artikel 5, hvorefter medlemsstaterne, navnlig for så vidt angår spørgsmålet om en forskriftsmæssig anvendelse af fællesskabsmidler, er forpligtet til at indføre et system med administrativ kontrol og kontrol på stedet for at sikre de finansielle operationers overensstemmelse med

The effect of those provisions is that an export declaration must be made in writing, inter alia, in order for it to be possible to check whether the information given by the exporter corresponds to the goods presented for export, and that it must be submitted before the goods have left customs territory.

In its Report No VI/002020 of 14 January 1992, the Commission noted that, in relation to the export of 18 250 230 kg of barley to Russia, the export declaration was accepted on 27 November 1989 by the Netherlands customs authorities in Terneuzen even though the barley had left the territory of the Community on board the Kapitän Stankov on 25 November 1989.

Ved stævning indleveret til Domstolens Justitskontor den 21. januar 1994 har Kongeriget Nederlandene anlagt sag med påstand om delvis annullation af Kommissionens beslutning 93/659/EF af 25. november 1993 om afslutning af medlemsstaternes regnskaber over de udgifter for regnskabsåret 1990, der er finansieret af Den Europæiske Udviklings- og Garantifond for Landbruget (EUGFL), Garantisektionen (herefter »den anfægtede beslutning«), for så vidt som 3 317 344,26 HFL udelukkes fra fællesskabsfinansiering.

I 1991 foretog Kommissionen kontrolundersøgelser hos det udbetalende organ, Hoofproduktschap voor Akkerbouwprodukten, der var udpeget af det nederlandske ministerium for landbrug, naturforvaltning og fiskeri.
In its second plea in law, the Netherlands Government argues that the contested decision infringes Article 190 of the EC Treaty on the ground that the reasons stated are inadequate.
Det må fastslås, at de nederlandske myndigheder ikke, i hvert fald ikke inden udløbet af den frist, som Kommissionen har fastsat i sin beslutning af 6. november 1992, har kunnet godtgøre, at denne institutions konstateringer var urigtige.
In this case, as the Commission has pointed out, the case-file shows that the Netherlands Government was involved in the process by which the contested decision came about and that the Commission's uncertainty as to the circumstances surrounding the export of the barley in question was brought to the attention of the Netherlands authorities on several occasions.
Herefter må det antages, at Kommissionens konstateringer vedrørende fremlæggelsen af udførselsangivelsen og vedrørende kontrollen af de pågældende varer er omstændigheder, der kan rejse begrundet tvivl om, hvorvidt udførselsangivelsen faktisk er blevet fremlagt og de nederlandske toldmyndigheders kontrolforanstaltninger i Terneuzen rent faktisk har fundet sted.
