  Having regard to the judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee once they had become final;   Recalling that the applicants’ admissible complaints in these cases concerned the fact that as widowers they were not entitled to widow's social security benefits (complaints under Article 8, 14 and Article 1 of Protocol No.   1);   Whereas in these cases the Court, 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 or 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 these friendly settlements it was agreed that the government of the respondent state would pay the applicants certain sums (see Appendix), within three months as from the notification of the judgments;   Recalling that the striking-out of a case which has been declared admissible is effected by means of a judgment which the President forwards 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, friendly settlement or solution of the matter;   Having invited the government of the respondent state to inform the Committee of the measures taken in order to comply with its obligation under Article   46, paragraph 1, of the Convention to abide by the judgments;   Having examined the information provided by the government in accordance with the Committee’s Rules for the application of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention;   Having satisfied itself that within the time-limit agreed to under the terms of the friendly settlement, the government of the respondent state paid the applicants the sums provided in the friendly settlement and that no other measure was required in these cases to comply with the Court’s judgment;   Having examined the information supplied by the government of the United Kingdom,   DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention with respect to the commitments subscribed to in these cases and   DECIDES to close their examination.
