The period to be taken into consideration began in January 1993 with preliminary investigations and ended in December 2002 when the public prosecutor abandoned the prosecution for lack of grounds (more than 9 years for one level of jurisdiction) (violation of Article 6, paragraph 1).     I.   Payment of just satisfaction and individual measures   a) Details of just satisfaction   Non-pecuniary damage Costs and expenses Total Paid on 7   000 € 3   230 € 10   230 € 13/12/2005     b) Individual measures   None (proceedings closed). In June 2001, the Federal Court awarded the applicant 1 500 Swiss francs for his expenses on account of the length of the proceedings. Following the appeal introduced by the applicant in April 2001, the Federal Court acknowledged the violation of Article 6, paragraph 1, in this case and ordered the lower courts to deal with it without further delay.       II.   General measures   The judgment of the European Court which does not reveal a structural problem, has been sent out to the authorities directly concerned and brought to the attention of the Cantons via a circular. It was published in Verwaltungspraxis der Bundesbehörden (Digest of Confederal Administrative Case-law), VPB 69.137, available via <http://www.vpb.admin.ch/deutsch/doc/69/69.137.html> and mentioned in the yearly report of the Federal Council on the activities of Switzerland in the Council of Europe in 2005.   [1] Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 28 February 2007 at the 987th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies
