The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 27 March 2012 as a Committee composed of:

Alvina Gyulumyan , President, Ineta Ziemele , Mihai Poalelungi , judges, and Marialena Tsirli , Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 22 April 2008,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicant, Ms Cornelia Eftimescu, is a Romanian national who was born in 1941 and lives in Iasi . The Romanian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms I. Cambrea, of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The applicant ’ s complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1, communicated to the Government on 12 May 2009, concerned the application of the restitution laws in Romania .

On 19 July 2011 the applicant informed the Court that she wanted to withdraw the application since her claims under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 had been satisfied by the domestic authorities. This request was reiterated on 29 November 2011 when the applicant submitted documents in support of her assertions.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her 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.
