FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
The applicants were represented by Ms G. Iorgulescu, of the Centre for Legal Resources.
The applicants’ complaints under Articles 3, 6 § 1, 8, 14 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 12 to the Convention concerning the authorities’ alleged refusal to grant them access to criminal files classified as secret were communicated to the Romanian Government (“the Government”).
On 8 April 2019 the applicants informed the Registry that they wanted to withdraw the application to the Court.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention). Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine, the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.
Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 19 September 2019.
