Decisions were given 2 months and 27 days (Naples Court), 7 months and 23 days and 4 months and 10 days (Court of Cassation), after the applicant lodged his complaints (violation of Article 5§4).     I.   Payment of just satisfaction and individual measures   a) Details of just satisfaction   Pecuniary damage Non-pecuniary damage Costs and expenses Total - 4   000 EUR 2   500 EUR 6   500 EUR Paid on 16/01/2006   b) Individual measures   The applicant has not been detained on remand since 1999 and the European Court granted him just satisfaction in respect of the non-pecuniary damage suffered. Thus, no other individual measure appears necessary.   II.   General measures   Domestic law seems to satisfy the requirements of the Convention, as the Code of Criminal Procedure, in particular Articles 309 et seq ., lays down tight time-limits in this respect. Regarding the correct application of the law and of the European Convention, the government stated that the President of the Court of Cassation had written to all Presidents of Section reminding them of the need to keep control of procedural deadlines applicable to remand decisions. An abstract of the European Court's judgment was published on the internet site of the Court of Cassation which is accessible to law professionals.   III.   Conclusions of the respondent state   The government considers that the measures taken have fully remedied the consequences for the applicant of the violation of the Convention found by the European Court in this case, that these measures will prevent new, similar violations and that Italy has thus complied with its obligations under Article   46, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
