  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 invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;   Having examined the information provided by the government indicating the measures adopted to give effect to the judgments, including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court (see Appendix);   Having satisfied itself that all the measures required by Article 46, paragraph 1, have been adopted,   DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in these cases and   DECIDES to close the examination thereof. Appendix   Information about the measures taken to comply with the judgments in the Vilho Eskelinen group of cases against Finland     Introductory case summary   These cases concern the excessive length of administrative proceedings (violations of Article 6, paragraph 1) and the lack of effective remedy in this respect (violations of Article 13).   I.   Payment of just satisfaction and individual measures   a) Details of just satisfaction   Name and application number Pecuniary damage Non-pecuniary damage Costs and expenses Total Paid on Vilho Eskelinen and Others 63235/00   20,000 EUR 9,622.11 EUR 29,622.11 EUR 10/07/2007 Raita 16207/05     2,500 EUR 2,500 EUR 26/07/2013 Huoltoasema Matti Euren Oy and Others 26654/08     2,500 EUR 2,500 EUR 15/07/2010 Kukkola 26890/95   5,000 EUR 8,000 EUR 13,000 EUR 15/05/2006 Kukkonen 47628/06   3,500 EUR 640 EUR 4,140 EUR 09/07/2009 Varjonen 63744/10   4,000 EUR 2,500 EUR 6,500 EUR 14/05/2014 Satakunnan Markkinapörssi Oy and Satamedia Oy 931/13     9,500 EUR 9,500 EUR 18/08/2017   b) Individual measures   The domestic proceedings in these cases are closed. No other individual measure is therefore necessary in these cases.   II.   General measures   -   Article 6, paragraph 1   An overview of the general measures adopted in relation to excessive length of proceedings has been presented in the action report attached to Final Resolution CM/ResDH(2012)75, adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 6 June 2012 in 35 cases against Finland ( Kangasluoma group, concerning the excessive length of civil and criminal proceedings).   Furthermore, the Administrative Judicial Procedure Act (586/1996) has been amended. In particular, a provision was added stating that an authority processing an appeal shall give a party an estimate on the processing time at the request of the said party. The amendment entered into force on 1 June 2013.   -   Article 13   The Act on Compensation for Excessive Duration of Judicial Proceedings (362/2009) entered into force on 1 January 2010. According to the Act, applicants are entitled to obtain reasonable compensation from the State budget in case of excessive length of proceedings attributable to the authorities. The assessment of the length of proceedings and the amount of compensation should correspond to the European Court’s practice. The content of the above-mentioned Act as well as the relevant domestic judicial practice are described in more detail in the above-mentioned action report concerning the Kangasluoma group.   The Act was amended in 2013 to apply also to administrative courts and courts of special jurisdiction. The Administrative Judicial Procedure Act was amended at the same time. If proceedings in an administrative matter are delayed, a party has the right to obtain reasonable compensation from the State budget. The provisions concerning courts apply also to administrative boards processing appeals.   In addition to the aforementioned, a party has, at present, several remedies available in case of excessive length of administrative proceedings. A party may complain about the excessive length of the proceedings before a lower authority to a higher authority or to the supreme legal guardians, the Parliamentary Ombudsman or the Chancellor of Justice.   Moreover, according to the Administrative Judicial Procedure Act (586/1996), the excessive length of the proceedings can be taken into account when ordering an administrative sanction.   A party can also request compensation for damages on the account of excessive length of proceedings in accordance with the Tort Liability Act (412/1974).   III.   Conclusions of the respondent State   The government considers that no further individual measures are required, that the general measures adopted will prevent similar violations and that Finland has thus complied with its obligations under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention in these cases.
