The additional compensation that the applicants claim to be entitled to consists of the following: ‑     Additional compensation in the amount of 20% of the main compensation, in accordance with Presidential Decree no. 689 of 26   December 2007; and ‑     Additional compensation in the amount of 10% of the main compensation, in accordance with Article 66 of the Law on Expropriation of Lands (except application no. 64650/16). QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES 1.     Have the applicants been deprived of their possessions in the public interest, and in accordance with the conditions provided by law, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention? In particular, were the applicants entitled to statutory additional compensation in the amounts of 20% and 10% (except application no.   64650/16) of the main compensation respectively? Were the applicant’s properties expropriated by the State authorities in compliance with the law? If the deprivation was lawful, did that deprivation impose and excessive burden on the applicants (see, mutatis mutandis , Immobiliare Saffi v. Italy [GC], no. 22774/93, § 59, ECHR 1999 ‑ V)?   2.     Have the applicants suffered discrimination in the enjoyment of their Convention rights under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1, contrary to Article 14 of the Convention? In particular, have the applicants been refused to be paid additional compensation, whereas other individuals in the same situation have been paid such compensation? If so, did that difference in treatment pursue a legitimate aim; and did it have a reasonable justification?   APPENDIX   No. Application no.
