Vinproducenterne og vinhandlerne havde ejendomsforbehold (enkelt, udvidet eller forlænget) i disse aktiver, hvilket ifølge de tyske myndigheder ville give dem en fortrinsstilling i tilfælde af insolvens.
These were subject to retention of title (simple, extended or prolonged) by the winegrowing enterprises and merchants which according to Germany would give them priority in case of insolvency.
