[This summary is extracted from the Court’s official reports (Series A or Reports of Judgments and Decisions). Its formatting and structure may therefore differ from the Case-Law Information Note summaries.]

Friendly settlement reached between the Austrian Government and the applicant - notwithstanding the objections of the Delegate of the Commission, no public policy reasons of such a kind as to necessitate continuation of the proceedings, in view in particular of legislative reform under way.

Conclusion: case ordered to be struck out of the list (unanimously).
