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 violation of Article 1 of Protocol No.1 to the Convention, established due to the decision of the domestic courts to reject the applicants’ claim for compensation for the losses suffered as a result of unlawful administrative decisions;
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;
Noting that the just satisfaction awarded by the Court in this case has been paid and considering that the question of individual measures has therefore been resolved, given that the damage suffered by the applicants, as a result of the violation found, has been compensated by the payment of the sums awarded by the Court;
Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in this judgment continues to be examined within the framework of the group of cases Centro Demarzio S.r.l. v. Italy also in the light of the Court’s findings in this case, and that the closure of this case therefore in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of these measures;
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in this case;
CONCLUDES that the question of individual measures was resolved;
DECIDES to continue to supervise the adoption of the general measures necessary to guarantee the non-repetition of the violation of Article 1 of Protocol No.1 in the group of cases Centro Demarzio S.r.l. v. Italy;
DECIDES to close the examination of this case.
