The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”),

Having regard to the final judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in this case establishing a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1;

Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:

- of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum ; and

- of general measures preventing similar violations;

Recalling that in 2003 the Committee closed its supervision of the execution of the just satisfaction judgment of 28 July 1998, as the respondent State had paid the applicant the sums awarded by the Court for loss of use and non-pecuniary damage ( see Resolution ResDH(2003)190 );

Considering in the light of all the information at its disposal that no further individual measures are required in respect of the judgment on the merits of 18 December 1996;

DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in this case and

DECIDES to close the supervision of the execution of the judgment of 18 December 1996 in the Loizidou case.
