v

and

European Central Bank,

defendants,

APPLICATION for indemnification of the damages suffered by the applicants and resulting from their forced participation in the restructuring of the debt of the Greek government or, alternatively, from the illegal exclusion of official sector creditors from the restructuring of the debt of the Greek government.

1        By letter lodged at the Court Registry on 6 December 2016, the applicants informed the Court, pursuant to Article 125 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, that they wished to discontinue the proceedings.

2        The case must therefore be removed from the register.

3        As the proceedings were discontinued prior to service of the application on the defendants and before the latter could have incurred costs, it is sufficient to decide that the applicants must bear their own costs.

On those grounds,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE THIRD CHAMBER OF THE GENERAL COURT

hereby orders:

1.      Case T-736/16 is removed from the register of the General Court.

2.      Maria Amira, Lycurgus LTD, Theodosios Bountourakis, Kiriakos Dilaveris, Anastasia Hatzitzani, Ioannis Dimitropoulos, Eleni Kalliga, Amelia Marina Kouveli, Ioulia-Ioli Kouveli, Aikaterini Panagiotopoulou, Maria Papadopoulou, Georgios Stefanakis, Ioannis Stilianou, Athanasios Tobras, Kiveli Ilona Tsirigoti, and Georgios Varsos shall bear their own costs.

Luxembourg, 20 December 2016.
