The consequences on the applicant’s situation have been properly remediated and he was adequately redressed in his rights. It may be appropriate to consider that these measures have a deterrent effect and they would prevent occurrence of a similar situation(s) and violation(s). Consequently, the Government considers that they have fulfilled their obligation under Article 46 § 1 of the Convention and it is appropriate to strike the present case out from the lists of pending cases before the Committee of Ministers. For these reasons, the Government invites the Committee of Ministers to close their supervision process in the present case.
