by Mr Manfred Radermacher and Mr Klaus Pferrer against the
Federal Republic of Germany (Application No. 12811/87);
Whereas on 7 November 1990 the Commission transmitted the said

brought before the European Court of Human Rights in pursuance

brought about by undercover agents of the German police;
Whereas the Commission declared the application admissible
on 8 December 1988 and in its report adopted on 11 October 1990
expressed inter alia the opinion, by eleven votes to one, that
there had been no violation of Article 6, paragraphs 1 and 3.d
