The Committee of Ministers,
Having regard to Article 32 (art. 32) of the Convention for the
Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter
referred to as "the convention");
Having regard to the report drawn up by the European Commission of
Human Rights in accordance with Article 31 (art. 31) of the
convention, relating to the application lodged by Mr Yossef Ezra Levy
against the Federal Republic of Germany (No. 6066/73);
Whereas on 9 October 1975 the Commission transmitted the said report
to the Committee of Ministers and whereas the period of three months
provided for in Article 32.1 (art. 32-1) of the convention has elapsed
without the case having been brought before the European Court of
Human Rights, in pursuance of Article 48 (art. 48) of the convention;
Whereas in his application introduced on 28 February 1973
Mr Yosef Ezra Levy complained that the competent German authorities
failed to bring him to trial within a reasonable time or to release
him pending trial, alleging a violation of Article 5.3 (art. 5-3) of
the convention;
Whereas the Commission on 17 December 1973 declared the application
admissible and after having examined all the elements of the case
expressed the opinion in its report adopted on 9 July 1975 that there
were no delays which were avoidable for the judicial authorities and
that therefore the applicant was not detained beyond a reasonable time
pending trial and concluded by 11 votes to 1 that Article 5.3
(art. 5-3) had not been violated in the present case;
Agreeing with the opinion expressed by the Commission in
accordance with Article 31.1 (art. 31-1) of the convention;
Voting in accordance with the provisions of Article 32.1 (art. 32-1)
of the convention,
Decides that in this case there was no violation of the
Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental
Freedoms.
