The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 32

(art. 32) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights

and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as "the

Convention"),

Having regard to the report drawn up by the European

Commission of Human Rights in accordance with Article 31

(art. 31) of the Convention relating to the application lodged

on 1 December 1981 by Mr Pasquale Minniti against Italy

(Application No. 9630/81);

Having regard to Resolution DH(89)7 of 2 March 1989

concerning the present case;

Recalling that it had decided that there had been in this

case a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the

Convention because of the excessive length of civil proceedings

brought by the applicant with a view to obtaining a disability

pension;

Recalling that, after examination of the Commission's

proposals as to just satisfaction for the applicant, it had

recommended the Government of Italy to pay to the applicant for

non-pecuniary damage and for costs the sum of 3 million Italian

lire;

Having been informed by the Government of Italy of the fact

that no payment had taken place and having regard to its decision

of 6 June 1991 setting, according to Article 32, paragraph 2

(art. 32-2), of the Convention, a time limit of three months for

the Italian Government to pay the sum due to the applicant by way

of compensation for non-pecuniary damage and for costs;

Finding that the Government of Italy still has not paid the

sum it had agreed to pay following the recommendation of the

Committee of Ministers,

Decides to strongly urge the Government of Italy to proceed

without delay to the payment of the sum of 3 million lire to the

applicant;

And accordingly decides, if need be, to resume consideration

of the present case at each of its forthcoming meetings.
