DISSENTING OPINION OF MR. M.P. PELLONPÄÄ

        (regarding Article 6 para. 1 of the Convention)

     I have voted against the finding of a violation of Article 6

para. 1 of the Convention on the ground that, for the reasons mentioned

in the dissenting opinion of MM. G. Jörundsson and J.-C. Geus, an oral

hearing was in any case not required by the provision in question.

     In view of this, I do not find necessary to decide whether

Article 6 is applicable as regards this part of the present case.
