  Recalling that these cases originated in applications (see Appendix) against Italy, lodged with the European Commission of Human Rights between 20 November 1995 and 9 July 1996 under former Article 25 of the Convention by 15 Italian nationals, and that the Court, seised of the cases under Article 5, paragraph 2, of Protocol No. 11, declared admissible the applicants’ complaints concerning their prolonged inability to recover possession of their apartments, through lack of police assistance in enforcing judicial eviction orders against the tenants;   Whereas in the judgments concerning these cases the Court, after having taken formal note of friendly settlements reached by the government of the respondent state and the applicants, and having been satisfied that the settlements were based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols, decided unanimously to strike these cases out of its list and took note of the parties’ undertaking not to request a re-hearing of the cases before the Grand Chamber;   Whereas under the above-mentioned friendly settlements it was agreed that the Italian government would pay the applicants certain sums (see Appendix), within three months as from the notification of the judgments;   Recalling that Rule 44, paragraph 2, of the Rules of the Court provides that the striking out of a case shall be effected by means of a judgment which the President shall forward to the Committee of Ministers once it has become final in order to allow it to supervise, in accordance with Article 46, paragraph 2 of the Convention, the execution of any undertakings which may have been attached to the discontinuance or solution of the matter;   Having regard to the Rules adopted by the Committee of Ministers concerning the application of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention;   Having satisfied itself that within the time-limit agreed to under the friendly settlement, the government of the respondent state had paid the applicants the sums provided for in the friendly settlement and that no other measures were required in the present cases to conform to the Court’s judgment;   Recalling that, as regards the applicants’ complaints declared admissible in these cases, the Committee of Ministers is at present supervising the execution of judgments of the Court (notably the judgment Immobiliare Saffi of 28 July 1999) and decisions of Committee of Ministers under former Article 32 of the Convention, finding in particular a violation of Article 1, Protocol No. 1 to the Convention on account of the prolonged lack of enforcement of judicial orders for eviction of tenants;   Whereas, in this connection, the Italian authorities informed the Committee of Ministers that they were envisaging new general measures (in addition to the adoption, in December 1998, of the law No. 431/98 “Regulations concerning the renting and the repossession of housing”, which sets – inter alia – the conditions, modalities and deadlines for the implementation of eviction proceedings) in order to put to an end the serious problem of non-enforcement of judicial eviction orders, so as to prevent new similar violations,   Declares, on the basis of the information supplied by the Government of Italy, that the Committee of Ministers has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention with respect to the commitments subscribed to in the friendly settlements reached in these cases.   Appendix to Resolution ResDH(2002)36   Details of sums agreed to on the friendly settlements     Case Total sum Payment on BARONE Mario 30968/96 50 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 CASTELLO Giorgio 1 32645/96 10 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 CASTELLO Sergio 1 32645/96 10 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 VINTANI Nicolò 1 32645/96 10 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 VINTANI Dulio 1 32645/96 10 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 VERONESI Vittoria Silvia 32645/96 10 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 GIROLAMI ZURLA Gabriella 32404/96 20 000 000 Italian lire 17/12/2001 IMMOBILIARE ANBA 31916/96 35 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 MICUCCI Teresa 31922/96 30 000 000 Italian lire 29/11/2001 MUSIANI DAGNINI Gabriella 33831/96 55 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 PINI Giuseppe 31929/96 46 000 000 Italian lire 29/12/2001 BINI Laura 31929/96 46 000 000 Italian lire 29/12/2001 SERLENGA Serafino 31927/96 30 000 000 Italian lire 29/11/2001 SIT s.r.l. 32650/96 40 000 000 Italian lire 03/12/2001 TENTORI MONTALTO Tullio 32648/96 90 000 000 Italian lire 29/11/2001       Note 1 Massimo Castello’ heirs having expressed the wish to continue the procedure
