and 4 other applications
(see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 2 June 2015 as a Committee composed of:
Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, President,
Mirjana Lazarova Trajkovska,
Ksenija Turković, judges,
and André Wampach, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above applications lodged on the dates set out in the appendix,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the cases,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicants are Macedonian nationals and live in Štip. They were represented before the Court by Ms S. Suleva, a lawyer practising in Štip. A list of applicants with their personal details and information about the domestic proceedings is available in the appendix.
The Macedonian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr K. Bogdanov.
The applicants complained under Article 6 of the Convention about their administrative proceedings for special monthly allowance.
On 20 March 2015 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications against an undertaking by the Government to pay them 1,000 euros each to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses. The sums would be converted into Macedonian Denars at the rate applicable on the date of payment and would be payable on the applicants’ personal account within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. The Government and the applicants undertook that this would be the final settlement of the case.
THE LAW
The Court takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the applications. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.
Done in English and notified in writing on 25 June 2015.
