Resolution ResDH(2003)84

concerning the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (Friendly settlement) of 30 November 2000 in the case of M.A. and others against Italy

(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 24 April 2003 at the 834th 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 as amended by Protocol No. 11 (hereinafter referred to as “the Convention”),

Having regard to the final judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of M.A. and others delivered on 30 November 2000 and transmitted the same day to the Committee of Ministers under Article 46 of the Convention;

Recalling that the case originated in five applications (Nos. 44814/98, 45401/99, 45372/99, 47463/99 and 47724/99) against Italy, lodged with the European Court of Human Rights on 5 November 1998, 29 December 1998, 26 January 1999, 9 April and 21 April 1999 under Article 34 of the Co n vention by 82 Italian nationals (see Appendix), and that the Court declared admissible the complaint related to the excessive length of certain civil proceedings brought by haemophiliacs seeking compensation for damages suffered following blood transfusions infected with various viruses such as hepatitis B or C or H.I.V.;

Whereas in its judgment of 30 November 2000 the Court, after having taken formal note of a friendly settlement reached by the government of the respondent state and the applicants, and having been satisfied that the settlement was based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention or its Protocols, decided unanimously to strike the case out of its list and took note of the parties ' undertaking not to request a re-hearing of the case before the Grand Chamber;

Whereas under the above-mentioned friendly settlement it was agreed that the Government of Italy would pay the applicants certain sums (see Appendix) within three months as from the notification of the judgment;

Recalling that Rule 44, paragraph 2, of the Rules of the Court provides that the striking-out of a case shall be effected by means of a judgment which the President shall forward to the Committee of Ministers once it has become final in order to allow it to supervise, in accordance with Article 46, paragraph 2 of the Convention, the execution of any undertakings which may have been attached to the discontinuance or solution of the matter;

Having regard to the Rules adopted by the Committee of Ministers concerning the application of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention;

Having satisfied itself that within the time-limit agreed to under the terms of the friendly settlement, the government of the respondent state had paid the applicants the sums provided for in the friendly settlement and that the judicial proceedings, which were pending since 1993 before domestic courts, had come to an end in October 2000,

Recalling that, as regards the applicants ' complaint declared admissible in these cases, the Committee of Ministers is at present supervising the execution of several judgments of the Court and of a considerable number of Committee of Ministers ' decisions under former Article 32 of the Convention, finding a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention on account of the excessive length of proceedings before the Italian civil courts, including cases, such this one, where an exceptional diligence was required;

Whereas, in this connection, the Italian authorities informed the Committee of Ministers that they were drafting and adopting new general measures in order to put to an end to the serious problem of excessive length of proceedings, so as to prevent new violations similar to those already found in the above-mentioned cases (see Resolutions DH(97)336, DH(99)437 and ResDH(2000)135),

Declares, after having taken note of the information supplied by the Government of Italy, that it has exe r cised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention with respect to the commitments subscribed to in this case.
