(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 5 June 2014
at the 1201st meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies)
The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”),
Noting that the present cases concern violations of the applicants’ right to freedom of association (Article 11), in particular on account of the refusal by the authorities to register their associations in the Bekir Ousta and Others and Emin and Others cases, and on account of the dissolution of their association in the Tourkiki Enosi Xanthis case;
Noting further that, following the judgments of the European Court, the applicants have not succeeded in having their cases re-examined in the light of the Court’s findings;
Recalling the commitment reiterated by the Greek authorities to implementing fully and completely these judgments, without excluding any avenue in that respect, so that the applicants benefit from proceedings in compliance with the Convention requirements, in the light of the Court’s case-law;
Recalling further that since June 2013, the Greek authorities have indicated to the Committee that, in response to these judgments, they were considering the most appropriate solution to execute the individual measures;
Strongly regretting that, despite the Committee’s call, the Greek authorities have provided no concrete and tangible information on the measures explored to implement the individual measures, accompanied by an indicative calendar for their adoption;
CALLS upon the Greek authorities to take, without any further delay, all necessary measures so that the applicants benefit from proceedings in compliance with the Convention requirements, in the light of the Court’s case-law;
CALLS further upon the authorities to provide the Committee, without any further delay, with tangible information on the measures taken or envisaged, accompanied by an indicative calendar for their adoption, to achieve the aforementioned goals in compliance with the Court’s judgments.
