Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 2

Extract:

"Any advisory administrative body that receives a request in accordance with its rules must, in all cases, express an opinion on the request, whatever the validity of the request, whenever the persons concerned are entitled to submit a matter to it; this is the case even if the said request is deemed to be not receivable. Questions of receivability often raise problems that are difficult to solve, and complainants are entitled to have them examined in the same manner as questions of substance."
