The considerations were carried out pursuant to the canons of interpretation of EU law. While a grammatical interpretation, taking into account the official languages of the European Union, did not lead to a conclusive answer, extra-linguistic methods of interpretation have resulted in surprising conclusions, differing from the literal wording of the provision regulating the issue in question. In has been thus concluded that a contract for the supply of agricultural produce should contain a provision allowing its cancellation rather than termination, but such a provision ought to be mandatory only in the case of fixed-term contracts, where the performance of the agricultural producer is continuous or periodical.</span></p> ER -
