The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government concerning the right of career officers and non-commissioned officers to resign. It notes that out of 22 resignation applications made by officers, 21 were accepted and one was refused because it did not fulfil the requirements laid down by the regulations; the officer concerned has not appealed against the Minister's decision. Three hundred and one resignation applications made by non-commissioned officers were accepted, including nine which did not fulfil the requirements laid down by the regulations.

The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying full information on cases in which decisions are taken to reject a resignation application that fulfils the requirements laid down by the regulations, including copies of the rulings handed down by administrative tribunals.
