proposals as to just satisfaction for the applicant, it had

recommended the Government of Italy to pay to the applicant for

pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage the sum of 125 million Italian

lire;

Having been informed by the applicant and by the Government

of Italy of the fact that no payment had taken place and having

regard to its decision of 18 March 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 pecuniary and

non-pecuniary damage;

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,

without delay to the payment of the sum of 125 million lire to

the applicant;
