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”),
Having regard to the final judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in this case and to the violations established on account of the non-compliance by the authorities (notably local and regional) with a final domestic judgment ordering the lifting of land expropriation orders or charges on land (violations of Article 6, paragraph 1) and the lack of an effective remedy to ensure the enforcement of this judgment (violations of Article 13);
Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:
- of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum; and
- 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 action report provided by the government indicating the individual measures adopted to execute the judgment including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court (see document DH-DD(2025)1014);
Considering that the question of individual measures was resolved, given that the just satisfaction was paid in full and the relevant compensation was fully paid for the expropriation of the applicants’ property;
Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in this judgment continues to be examined also in the light of the Court’s findings in this case, within the framework of the Kanellopoulos group of cases, and that the closure of this case therefore in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of the outstanding general measures;
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in this case;
CONCLUDES that the necessary individual measures have been adopted;
DECIDES to continue to supervise the adoption of the necessary general measures within the framework of the Kanellopoulos group of cases;
DECIDES to close the examination of this case.
