The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of 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

and relating to the application lodged by Mr Vilar Dores and

Mr Cancio Silveira against Portugal (Nos. 9345/81 and 9346/81);

Whereas on 15 September 1983 the Commission transmitted the said

report to the Committee of Ministers and whereas the period of three

months provided for in Article 32, paragraph 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 their applications introduced on 30 March 1981, the

applicants complained that their cases had not been tried by the

Industrial Court within "reasonable time" and that there had

consequently been a breach of Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of

the convention;

Whereas the Commission, having joined the two applications and having

declared them admissible on 6 July 1982, in its report adopted on

6 July 1983 expressed the unanimous opinion that in this case

there has been a breach of Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the

convention;

Having voted in accordance with the provisions of Article 32,

paragraph 1 (art. 32-1), of the convention and having noted that the

majority of two-thirds required by Article 32, paragraph 1

(art. 32-1), of the convention had not been attained,

Decides that it can take no further action in the case and accordingly

removes the examination of the case from its agenda.
