The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 54

Having regard to the judgment of the European Court of Human

Recalling that the case originated in an application against

France lodged with the European Commission of Human Rights on

11 March 1985 under Article 25 (art. 25) of the Convention by

Mr Paul Crémieux, a French national, who complained of the

searches and seizures made by customs officers at his home and

at other addresses of his;

Recalling that the case was brought before the Court by the

Commission on 13 December 1991;

Whereas in its judgment of 25 February 1993 the Court, inter

consider the case also under Article 6, paragraph 3 and

Article 10 (art. 6-3, art. 10);

- held unanimously, as regards the non-pecuniary damage

sustained by the applicant, that the judgment constituted

in itself sufficient just satisfaction for the purposes of

Article 50 (art. 50);

- held unanimously that France was to pay the applicant,

within three months, 50 000 French francs in respect of

costs and expenses;

- dismissed unanimously the remainder of the applicant's

claims;

Having regard to the Rules adopted by the Committee of

Ministers concerning the application of Article 54 (art. 54) of

the Convention;

Having invited the Government of France to inform it of the

measures which had been taken in consequence of the judgment of

25 February 1993, having regard to its obligation under

Article 53 (art. 53) of the Convention to abide by it;

Having satisfied itself that the Government of France has

paid the applicant the sum provided for in the judgment

of 25 February 1993,

Declares, after having taken note of the information

supplied by the Government of France, that it has exercised its

functions under Article 54 (art. 54) of the Convention in this
