Resolution CM/ResDH(2016)359
Execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights
34 cases against Poland
(See the annex for the list of cases)
(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 8 December 2016
at the 1273rd meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies)
The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter “the Convention”),
Having regard to the final judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in these cases and to the violations established due to excessive length of administrative proceedings;
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;
Having examined the information provided by the government (see document DH-DD(2016)1160);
Having noted that just satisfaction awarded by the Court has been paid by the government of the respondent State and that domestic proceedings in these cases are now terminated;
Having noted the general measures adopted by the Polish authorities, which demonstrate their commitment to continue the efforts to solve the problem of the excessive length of administrative proceedings;
Noting with satisfaction that the amendments to the Law on proceedings before administrative courts which entered into force in August 2015 have allowed for termination of the practice of remittals of cases after annulment of administrative decisions, a reason for numerous delays in the proceedings;
Noting that outstanding issues concerning the length of administrative proceedings and the functioning of the remedies remain under supervision in the framework of the Beller group of cases;
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in the cases enlisted below and
DECIDES to close the examination thereof.
