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 20 December 1982 by

Mr Mario Savoldi against Italy (No. 10253/83);

Whereas on 9 March 1987 the Commission transmitted the said report to

the Committee of Ministers and whereas the period of three months

provided for in Article 32, paragraph 1 (art. 32-1), of the Convention

elapsed without the case having been brought before the European Court

of Human Rights in pursuance of Article 48 (art. 48) of the

Convention;

Whereas in his application the applicant complained inter alia that

the length of criminal proceedings brought against him was not

"reasonable" within the meaning of Article 6, paragraph 1

(art. 6-1), of the Convention;

Whereas the Commission declared the application admissible on

5 July 1985 as regards the issue of the length of proceedings and in

its report adopted on 12 December 1986 expressed unanimously the

opinion that there had been a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1

(art. 6-1), of the Convention;

Agreeing with the opinion expressed by the Commission in accordance

with Article 31, paragraph 1 (art. 31-1), of the Convention;

Having examined the proposals made by the Commission concerning just

satisfaction for the applicant,

Decides, having voted in accordance with the provisions of

Article 32, paragraph 1 (art. 32-1), of the Convention, that there

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

Convention in this case;

Recommends, under Rule 5 of the Rules adopted by the Committee of

Ministers for the application of Article 32 (art. 32) of the

Convention, that the Government of Italy pay to the applicant,

for material and non-material damage, the sum of 125 million Italian

lire;

Decides, therefore, that no further action is called for in this case.
