Application no. 8269/02 SUTYAZHNIK v. Russia
Dear Sir,
The Russian Federation authorities acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of 2 May 2006 with the applicant's proposals for a friendly
settlement in enclosure.
Having examined the applicant's proposals at issue the Russian
Federation authorities advise the Court that they cannot accept it.
Generally the relevant project can be implemented by the Russian
Federation authorities only on the competitive basis (according to the
Federal Law of 21 July 2005 No 94-3), moreover the relevant funds
(5 000 000 Russian roubles) should be provided by the federal budget
in advance.
At the same time it should be noted that in alternative to the
friendly settlement of the present case the applicant has claimed 3000
Euro as a compensation for the alleged non-pecuniary damage. The
Russian Federation authorities consider that such a big difference
between the applicant's just satisfaction claims and proposals for
friendly settlement evidently demonstrates that they
both suffers from tack of any motivation and are of speculative
manner.
On the above stated and without prejudice to the Russian Federation
authorities position as to the admissibility and merits of the present
case the Russian Federation authorities are persuaded that even in
case of possible finding a violation this mere fact in itself would be
sufficient just satisfaction for the applicant.
Pavel Laptev
