The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 14 November 2017 as a Committee composed of:

Kristina Pardalos , President, Ksenija Turković , Tim Eicke , judges , and Renata Degener , Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 25 November 2010,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicants are represented before the Court by Mr L. Maraglino , a lawyer practising in Massafra .

Invoking Articles 2, 6, 8, 13, 14 of the Convention, and Article 1 of Protocol no. 1, the applicants complained that they had not been paid the sum reflecting inflation adjustment on the supplementary component (the “IIS”) of an assistance allowance they receive by virtue of Law no. 210 of 25 February 1992.

By a letter dated 28 April 2017, sent by registered post, the applicants ’ representative was requested to submit certain documents and information. His attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application.

The representative received the letter on 23 May 2017. However, he did not reply and no further communication has been received.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their application, within the meaning of 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 its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case 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 7 December 2017 .
