Order
1        By application lodged at the Tribunal Registry on 17 June 2011, the applicant seeks annulment of the Commission decision of 4 March 2011, by which the Commission rejected the applicant’s complaint of 12 November 2010 against the Commission decision of 5 October 2010, and compensation for damage which she claims to have suffered as a result of the adoption of that decision.
2        By letter of 14 March 2010, the Judge-Rapporteur, authorised to do so by the Tribunal, put the terms of a possible amicable settlement of the proceedings to the parties. The applicant and the Commission indicated their agreement to the amicable settlement thus proposed in their letters received at the Tribunal Registry on 20 March and 29 March 2012 respectively. By letter received at the Registry on 24 April 2012, the applicant informed the Tribunal of her agreement to the amount of costs to be borne by the defendant and proposed by the latter in its letter of 29 March 2012.
3        Accordingly, the agreement of the parties on the amicable settlement proposed by the Tribunal should be recorded and the present case removed from the register of the Tribunal pursuant to Article 69 of the Rules of Procedure of the Tribunal.
4        Under Article 69(3) of the Rules of Procedure, where there is an agreement between the parties as to costs, a decision as to costs is to be given in accordance with the agreement. The costs shall therefore be borne by the parties in accordance with the terms of their agreement.
On those grounds,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECOND CHAMBER OF THE CIVIL SERVICE TRIBUNAL
hereby orders:
1.      Case F-64/11 Westeren v Commission shall be removed from the register of the Tribunal.
