H. Bernitsas, attorney-at-law.           By decision of 21 December 1984 of the Supreme Service Council of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the applicant was suspended for one month for having acted in a manner incompatible with his capacity as civil servant and contrary to the dignity of his position.   The penalty imposed was modified to interruption of the applicant's right to promotion for one year by judgment of 7 October 1987 of the Council of State (Symvoulio tis Epikrateias).   COMPLAINTS           The applicant complains that he did not have a fair trial, that his prosecution was motivated solely by political considerations and that the accusations brought against him were based on his private correspondence.   He invokes Articles 6, 8 and 14 of the Convention.   REASONS FOR THE DECISION           By letter of 14 April 1989 the applicant requested the Commission to postpone the examination of his application.   On 26 March 1990 the applicant informed the Commission that he wished to withdraw his application.           The Commission notes that the applicant does not wish to pursue his application.   Moreover, it considers that there are no reasons of a general character affecting the observance of the Convention which necessitate the further examination of this case.           It follows that the application shall be struck off the list of cases pursuant to Article 30 para. 1 of the Convention.           For these reasons, the Commission             DECIDES TO STRIKE THE APPLICATION OFF ITS LIST OF CASES       Secretary to the Commission             President of the Commission           (H.
