- of general measures preventing similar violations;
Having invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;
Having examined the information provided by the government confirming the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court;
Considering that the question of individual measures was resolved, given that the domestic proceedings have been terminated;
Recalling that the question of the general measures required to respond to the shortcomings established by the Court in the present judgments continues to be examined in the context of the Beller group of cases and that the closure of these judgments is without prejudice in any way to the Committee’s assessment of the general measures necessary to ensure the expeditiousness proceedings before administrative bodies and courts and the effectiveness of the domestic remedies,
