1.) In the follow-up prededure pertaining to the case of Dr. Perterer vs. Austria (Communication No. 1015/2001), the Republic of Austria has transmitted to the Human Rights Committee a submission in which the Republic of Austria alledges that the complainant Dr. Perterer was not interested in reaching an agreement with the Republic of Austria. This is not accurate. The complainant Dr. Perterer has been and is interested in reaching an agreement with the Republic of Austria and has also made several attempts in doing so. As per now, the Austrian Chancellor, who is the head and competent representative of the Austrian Government, has not even fulfilled Dr. Perterer's repeated requests for a talk. From this it is evident that it is not the complainant but the Austrian Government who closes itself towards the possibility of a solution.
