The
Government
submitted
that
,
as
the
applicant
had
failed
to
establish
that
the
sums
claimed
for
costs
before
the
special
committee
of
the
House
of
Representatives
and
the
Court
of
Cassation
had
been
incurred
to
prevent
or
obtain
redress
for
the
alleged
violations
of
the
Convention
,
the
claim
on
this
point
should
be
dismissed
.
They
also
cast
doubt
on
some
items
of
the
costs
and
expenses
claimed
for
the
proceedings
before
the
Convention
institutions
,
and
in
particular
the
costs
claimed
for
attending
the
hearing
on
2
March
1999
,
amounting
in
total
to
1,381.60
French
francs
(
FRF
)
.
In
their
submission
,
these
costs
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
means
employed
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
safeguards
set
forth
in
the
Convention
.
Other
items
claimed
under
this
head
,
namely
sums
of
FRF
1,200
and
BEF
17,250
and
the
sums
for
travelling
expenses
,
were
excessive
.
With
regard
to
the
other
sums
claimed
,
they
left
the
decision
to
the
Court
's
discretion
.
