They have three children, all of Danish nationality, one of which is from an earlier relationship of the applicant’s wife. In 1997, the applicant was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment followed by permanent expulsion from Denmark.   The European Court considered that, given the applicant’s significant family ties with Denmark and the fact that he had had no contact with his Iranian family since 1987, and taking into account that it was a practical impossibility for the applicant and his family to set up home elsewhere than in Denmark, the applicant’s expulsion would have the effect of separating the family, and would thus be disproportionate to the aims pursued. Therefore, the Court concluded that the implementation of the expulsion order would constitute a breach of Article 8 of the Convention.   I.   Individual measures   The European Court awarded no just satisfaction in the absence of a claim by the applicant.   Following the Court’s judgment, on the initiative by the prosecution, the Western High Court ( Vestre Landsret ), on 13/09/2002, revoked the decision relating to the applicant’s expulsion.   II.   General measures   The Danish authorities consider that the violation constituted a single incident resulting from the particular circumstances of the case. Given the direct effect of the Convention and the European Court’s case-law in Denmark, the publication and dissemination of the Court’s judgment should prevent similar violations, since the Court found the expulsion order to be in accordance with the law and pursuing a legitimate aim but disproportionate in this very specific case.   For this purpose, the judgment was published in the periodical EU-ret og Menneskeret (No.   5, 2002, pp.   232 ‑ 235) and was disseminated to the relevant authorities.   III.   Conclusions of the respondent state   The government considers that the measures adopted have fully remedied the consequences for the applicant of the violation of the Convention found by the European Court in this case, that these measures will prevent similar violations and that Denmark has thus complied with its obligations under Article   46, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
