Having regard to the judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee once they had become final;

b) Individual measures

Article 322 § 9 of the Romanian Code of Civil Procedure provides the possibility of reopening civil proceedings in cases in which the European Court has found a violation of the Convention.

Consequently, no other individual measure was considered necessary by the Committee of Ministers.

II. General measures

The general measures taken by the Romanian authorities are presented in the Final Resolution CM/ ResDH (2011)24 adopted in the case of Iorga against Romania (judgment of 25/01/2007).

III. Conclusions of the respondent state

The government considers that no individual measure is required, apart from the payment of the just satisfaction, that the general measures adopted will prevent similar violations and that Romania has thus complied with its obligations under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

[1] Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 8 June 2011 at the 1115th Meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies
